It seems that brown flaxseed is losing its popularity to golden flaxseed. The benefits of brown flaxseed and golden flaxseed are the exact same, if the samples are of the same quality. The switch seems to be somewhat due to golden flaxseed having a better taste. Golden flaxseed tastes more like peanut butter, which is thought to be what is making it more popular. Golden flaxseed is also more available in an organic flaxseed oil form. Golden flaxseed is also often used as a substitute of olive oil. It is important to have a flaxseed grinder, if you plan on buying whole flaxseed.
Brown flaxseed on the other hand used to be the more prevalent of the two. Due to the recent popularity of flaxseed and the upsides of golden flaxseed has stated above, brown flaxseed is slowly losing its grip on the American population. I also think that the connotation of the word "golden" in comparison to "brown" has something to do in the change of popularity. A person would naturally think that "golden" flaxseed oil was of higher quality than "brown" flaxseed oil.
