Flaxseed

Shop Flaxseed at Holland & Barrett

Flaxseed is a simple cupboard staple that can easily slip into your everyday eating – sprinkled on porridge, blended into smoothies, or folded through baking. At Holland & Barrett, you’ll find a wide range of flaxseed products, so you can choose what works best for your body and your lifestyle.

Whole flaxseeds for easy sprinkling

If you like a bit of crunch, whole flaxseeds are a great place to start. Available in both golden and brown varieties, these little seeds bring a mild, nutty flavour that works well on yoghurt, salads, soups and cereals. They’re ideal if you enjoy chewing your seeds or prefer to grind them yourself at home.

Whole flaxseeds are also handy for batch cooking. Stir them into homemade granola or bread dough, or use them as a simple topping whenever you want a quick, flavourful sprinkle.

Milled flaxseed for smooth blends

If you’d rather skip the crunch, milled (ground) flaxseed offers a smoother, easy-to-mix option. These finely ground seeds disappear into smoothies, porridge and baking mixes, helping you naturally enrich meals and snacks without changing the taste too much.

You’ll find both standard and organic milled flaxseed packs, including larger sizes that suit families or anyone who likes to prep ahead. Just scoop, stir and go – ideal for busy mornings or a quick pick‑me‑up between meals.

Flaxseed blends with nuts and seeds

For a bit more variety, there are flaxseed mixes that also include nuts like almonds, Brazil nuts and walnuts, as well as seeds such as sunflower, pumpkin and chia. These blends are designed to work with your daily eating habits, adding texture and flavour in one spoonful.

They’re perfect to sprinkle over breakfast bowls, layer into overnight oats or stir into pancake batter. If you like to keep things simple but still want a mix of different nuts and seeds, these blends can help you do that in one easy step.

Flaxseed with fruits, flavours and added ingredients

If you prefer something a little sweeter or more flavourful, look for flaxseed blends with ingredients like berries, goji berries, cacao, maca, apple or cinnamon. These options bring natural flavour, making it easier to enjoy your flaxseed in porridge, yoghurt, smoothies or baking.

You can also choose blends that include added vitamins, biocultures or specific botanicals, carefully put together to suit different preferences. These are a good fit if you want your flaxseed to do a little more for you, while still staying in tune with your everyday eating.

Sprouted and organic flaxseed options

For those who like to keep things simple, there are organic flaxseed choices in both whole and milled formats. These products have straightforward ingredient lists and no fuss.

You’ll also find sprouted flaxseed options, which are flaxseeds that have been allowed to sprout before being milled. These can be an appealing choice if you enjoy experimenting with different types of seeds and like to explore new textures and flavours in your meals.

Whether you’re drawn to simple whole seeds, smooth milled flaxseed, or blends with nuts, seeds and fruity flavours, there’s plenty to explore.

However you choose to enjoy it, flaxseed can be a simple, everyday addition to the foods you like to eat.
