Flaxseed: Golden or Black?

[RoJoHen]

My local grocery store sells both black and golden flaxseed. I am going to try buying the flaxseeds and grinding them myself, since it is a lot cheaper than buying a flaxseed oil supplement.

I was wondering if you knew of any big difference between the two types.

There are no nutritional differences between brown and golden seeds other than Golden Flax Seed has more of a nutty taste

Off of Wikipedia:
"Flax seeds come in two basic varieties, brown and yellow or golden, with most types having similar nutritional values and equal amounts of short-chain omega-3 fatty acids. The exception is a type of yellow flax called Linola or solin, which has a completely different oil profile and is very low in omega-3."
