General Information: Mumm’s Organic Brown Flax produces tender, nutrient-rich microgreens high in omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and fibre. Seeds become gelatinous when soaked, so they are better suited for tray sprouting rather than jar sprouting. Keep evenly moist and avoid overwatering to prevent mold. Ideal for beginners and year-round indoor growing.
