North Americans are sadly lacking in a highly nutritious diet, which currently skews heavily towards Linoleic Acid (Omega-6) consumption. The increase in Omega 6 consumption can have profound implications on chronic diseases. Over-consumption of Omega 6 causes an increase in the body of harmful hormone like substances called eicosanoids that:
1. Increase inflammation
2. Increase blood clotting
3. Are immunoreactive

The lack of a nutritious diet is not because good, wholesome foods are not available, but because consumers have gotten into bad habits. People will not change their diet overnight, but food manufacturers can help by making good food healthier.

It begins with the very finest fresh flaxseed.

The Milling Process

Pizzey's Nutritionals researched and developed its critical U.S. patented MeadowPure™ quality selection and processing technology. The unique patented process also eliminates the blemished seeds to provide a highly stable milled flaxseed ingredient that is perfect for most baked products. The result is a superior flaxseed that remains stable under a wide variety of food processing, distribution and handling conditions for up to two years after the milling of the seed. The full nutritional value of flaxseed is delivered where it belongs - in the food offerings that reach consumers!

The MeadowPure™ Flax brand of superior quality naturally stable flaxseed, and MeadowPure™ UltraGrad (which provides both the benefits of ALA Omega 3 in flaxseed, along with the DHA and EPA found in fish oil) are excellent ways to help food manufacturers move their products into a higher end nutraceutical/functional food category.

Our philosophy of supporting manufacturers throughout the whole process of product development is a consistent business practice that raises the bar and sets us apart from many ingredient suppliers. Only by helping our manufacturers understand the science supporting the full benefits of all three fatty acids (ALA, EPA and DHA) and having the technology required to deliver a naturally stable functional food, can we ensure that together, we deliver the best health-benefit focused products to consumers.
