Purity Seeds, LLC, a family business located near Raymond, SD (population 69), is growing and packaging whole flaxseed for human consumption. They offer high quality, clean, whole golden omega flax seed, fresh cold milled flax, and crafted flax. Purity Seeds has also developed several ready to make mixes using flax seed such as chocolate chip cookie mix, sugar cookie mix and pancake mix. The products are marketed over their web site www.purityseedsusa.com and through a network of regional grocers and specialty stores. Flax is the highest food source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the plant form of omega 3 fatty acids. Flax is high in soluble fiber, has anti-cancer nutrients and is gluten free. REED Financing assisted with constructing a new facility for the grinding and packaging process to help aid in retention of flavor and extending shelf-life.
