Freshly Ground Flaxseeds or Linomel?
Originally, the Budwig Diet used only freshly ground flaxseeds.
Linomel is a German-made, ready-made product created as a convenient alternative. It contains ground golden flaxseeds, dried milk powder, and honey, making it quick and easy to use as part of the Budwig breakfast.
However, Dr Johanna Budwig encouraged followers of her diet to grind whole flaxseeds themselves and add locally produced, cold-extracted honey. She believed this approach offered advantages:
- Fresher
- More economical
