(another) quick linseed question

[PennywithHenry]

Sorry! Just a quickie...

I'm looking for whole linseed to buy online, I don't want to buy a great big bag until I'm confident I can get on with it.

I found a supplier online but there's golden linseed and bronze linseed-what's the difference? Or am I waaaaay off here?

Alternatively, anyone know of any whole linseed suppliers online?

bearts sell linseed not sure if online

Tesco sell it - golden linseed or a crushed kind (can;t remember the name)

I use it in breadmaking.

The golden tends to be softer and have a milder flavour

Thanks.SMID-Those would be fine for boiling up for Boo to get an idea of them before I invest in 25kgs, yes?

i always used to get bronze. you have to boil for a long time due to prussic acid. It forms a solid jelly. My horse used to love it and so did the cat!!

Don't know if it has the same effect...., but we use linseed chips (for a bit of weight putting on - horses, not humans

).
