Famiglia Sunflower Flax bread is by far one of our best loved breads. The versatility as a sandwich bread, the crunch of the seeds and whole grains, and the simplicity of ingredients it's no wonder why these loaves are some of our most requested. Look for us at your local Calgary Costco Wholesale Canada in packages of two or your local Calgary Co-op by the loaf.
