In another bowl, combine the flour, flax seed, what germ, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Fold the dry ingredients gradually into the carrot mixture until well combined
Place the batter into a lightly oiled loaf tin and bake for about one hour, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the load comes out dry. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before removing from the tin.
