Premium Gold Flax
Font size:
Denhoff, North Dakota may be a ghost town to some, but not the Miller family.
A typical American family business, Premium Gold Flax has gone through five generations, on a family farm in Denhoff, North Dakota, a small town with a recorded 2009 census of 17, a decrease from a population of 27 from the early 2000s and about 350 in the 1950s.
To the Millers, it’s all about teamwork and volunteerism on their North Dakota farm, built on putting their heart, soul and talents into everything they do and develop. That holds true to the company motto of “If this flaxseed is not on our table, it will not be on yours.”
With a name like Premium Gold, the Millers say that it is “the only quality flaxseed that you will receive from our company. We stake our proud family name on bringing gourmet products to you”.
A blue-flowered plant grown in North Dakota, flax can be consumed in milled form, in oil form or whole and acts as a vitamin. Noted as one of the first crops ever grown, flaxseed is popular in Sweden, Africa and Asia. Flaxseeds are brown and have a deep, nutty flavour.
A healthy product, researchers have found that flax can prevent heart disease, protect against inflammatory disorders and certain cancers, as well as reducing cholesterol because it contains disease-fighting compounds like omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid fibre and lignans, a powerful antioxidant.
Two types of flaxseed are available – conventional and organic, differing in the way the seeds are produced. Flaxseed oil has less fiber, lignans and protein that are found in the rest of the seed.
Many cases also show that flaxseeds improve overall wellness, like slowing the aging process. Flaxseed properties are useful in maintaining blood pressure and healthy blood sugar levels. When cooking, flaxseed can be used as an oil or egg substitute because of its high oil content.
Lignans are natural antioxidants and flax contains 800 times more lignans than other sources like grains. Besides acting as antioxidants, lignans are phytoestrogens – plant substances that act as estrogen hormones. Research shows that this can reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Whole and ground flax have the same nutritional content, but your body gets far more benefits from ground flax. Grinding makes the nutrients easier to digest and can be ground using a home coffee grinder, food processor or blender.
Recommending one to two tablespoons per day, flax is a flavourful product that can be added to foods such as cereals, yogurts and salads. Requiring no refrigeration and with a shelf life of up to 18 months, flaxseed improves digestion, while also stabilizing glucose levels, preventing constipation and improving cardiovascular levels.
With a growing, committed consumer base, the product’s testimonials are impressive.
“For years I had been taking coarse orange flavored Metamucil. Then all of the sudden they stopped making it. None of the other products that I have tried had ever come close,” says product user Mitch Dugo, of Missouri. “In February 2007, we went to the St. Louis home show and happened on a booth offering Premium Gold Flax Seeds. Listening to all the info and benefits, my wife Teresa says to me that she thought it would be a good replacement for the other fiber I was taking. I thought why not I’ve tried everything else, so why not this stuff?”
Mitch and his wife use the product with a number of foods, reporting an improved heart rate and cholesterol.
“In general, we both feel healthier, more energized, and have lost weight and inches. Needless to say, we have decided to make Premium Gold Flax Products a part of our daily routine for the rest of our lives. We both feel that this is a great way to live a healthy life,” adds Dugo.
The products are available online and range from organic flaxseed to milled flaxseed, while cost ranges from $6.99 to US$80. For more information, contact Deborah Miller, Senior Vice President and co-owner of Premium Gold Flax via phone at (701) 884-2553 or online at www.PremiumGoldFlax.com.
