CONVENTIONAL AND ORGANIC

FLAX PRODUCTS

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

CONVENTIONAL FLAX

Conventional Flax is flax that has been grown in a more conventional manner – herbicides and pesticides have been used to maintain weed control and insect control on the crop. Conventional flax is easier to grow than organic because primarily weeds can be controlled.

ORGANIC FLAX

Organic Flax is flax that has had no chemical or pesticide use on it. To be organically certified a producer must allow the soil to be chemical free for a period of time before they can grow their first "organic crop". A producer must have yearly inspections done by an accredited certifying body in order to keep their organic status. The certifying body wants to ensure that the crop is grown without chemical use and is stored in an "uncontaminated" manner – to ensure that there is no cross contamination between crop with pesticide use and organically grown crop. From a nutritional standpoint there are no chemicals being ingested by humans/animals when it is organic.
