I have grown flax on the very poor clay soil

interested.

> What do you consider the ideal quantity to order at one time? Also,

what is the amount one would use per day, 2 to 3 ounces?

 

I bot 50 lbs of the " Organic " Golden flaxseed for about $25, The UPS

charge was about $25.

 

Since then many writers say the brown is equally good, Albert Lea sells the

Brown for about $13 for 50 lbs.

 

I have grown flax on the very poor clay soil in my yard so it must not

need much fertilizer; therefore most of it may be organic by default.

 

I forgot to suggest that you check with the local feed dealers; as there is

published research on flaxseed improving the vitamin content of Eggs when

fed to Chickens; and another writer said that ADM was contracting for

Flaxseed to add to their feed lines.

 

I try to eat six tablespoons of ground flaxseed daily. Recently I suffered

from a raging sore throat and tried putting a large clove of garlic in the

coffee grinder with four Tbspns of Flaxseed. Had to scrape it out of the

grinder. Put it in a cup and added a little water than ate it like mush-

this is one of the few ways I have found to eat raw crushed Garlic without

it burning my tongue! Also tried putting in Whipping Cream in place of

water- interesting. Took that morning and night, Now my Sinus infection

is gone, and I am taking it once a day.

 

We make cookies with bananas and Flaxseed, It is OK to bake it at 300 Deg.

according to the Flax Council.

 

Also try the FlaxseedOil2- for more info; but please

stick to flax on that list.

 

 

Best Regards, Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo!

 

How long does 50 lbs of flaxseed last you?
