Saskatoon, SK, Canada – The Nutracon advisory board has chosen BakOmega™, a low net carb organic flax flour, as one of the best new ingredients of 2003. BakOmega™ packs the health benefits of fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, lignans and essential vitamins and minerals into low carbohydrate functional foods and baked goods.

BakOmega’s™ stability is maintained by a proprietary process without the use of chemical radiation.  With less than 1% net carbs*, BakOmega™ provides a rich source of omega-3s, fiber, protein and lignans. The product’s fine mesh size allows BakOmega™ to be substituted for 10-15% of flour in recipes, increasing the nutritional value of the food.

BakOmega™ product information will be posted onsite during Nutracon March 3-5 in Anaheim, CA and at http://www.nutraconference.com/nutraward/Nutraward_BakOmega.pdf. The Nutraward winner will be determined by votes cast by Natural Product Expo West and Nutracon attendees, and will be announced on Saturday, March 6.

To find out more about BakOmega™ and other essential fatty acid products, please visit Cameron Kupper, Sales Manager, at booth # 2357 during Natural Products Expo West March 5-7 or call (306) 975-1166.
