The Seed

Also known as linseed, flaxseed is a small, brown seed with a mild, nutty flavor. It comes from the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum), one of the world’s oldest cultivated crops. For centuries, people have used flaxseed as a food source and for fiber production. It contains essential micronutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Harvesting

Farmers harvest flaxseed when the plants reach late bloom stage. By this time, the seeds are fully mature, and the bolls (seed pods) turn yellow and start to open. A combine harvester cuts the plants and separates the seeds. After harvesting, the seeds are dried and stored until processing begins.

Oil Production

We produce organic flaxseed oil using the cold-pressed method, ensuring the highest quality. Production runs year-round, and we offer flexible packaging options, from IBC containers to jerrycans.

With its high smoke point, this oil can withstand high temperatures without burning or smoking. This makes it ideal for stir-frying, deep-frying, and other high-heat cooking methods. It is also a popular ingredient in dressings, marinades, and sauces.

The Seed

This flowering plant belongs to the Sesamum genus and is cultivated for its edible seeds. These tiny, oval-shaped seeds come in different colors, including white, yellow, black, and red. They are commonly used as a spice or processed into oil.

Harvesting

Plants are typically ready for harvest when most seeds transition from green to yellow or tan. The process takes around four to six months, depending on the variety and growing conditions. One of the most common harvesting methods involves cutting the stalks near the base and bundling them to dry. Once dried, the seeds are separated either by hand or using a machine. After threshing, they are cleaned and either stored or processed into oil and other products.

Oil Production

To extract oil using a mechanical cold-press, the cleaned seeds are placed into a machine that crushes them, releasing their natural oils. The extracted liquid is then filtered and packaged to ensure purity. For roasted sesame oil, the seeds undergo roasting before pressing. This process enhances the nutty flavor and gives the oil a richer taste.
