Flax seeds

[Guest guest]

You can cook ground flax seeds but not flax seed oil. I grind mine in

the liquidiser and have them in hot oats, you can also add them to

cakes/biscuits and fruit smoothies. If you put two tablespoons of

ground flax seed with a few tablespoons of hot water, leave for

10minutes and whisk. This is mixture a good substitute for eggs in

baking.

 

You should eat two tablespoons full of ground flax seeds everyday to

get your omega 3. They are gluten free too!

 

Flax seed oil goes rancid quickly, it must be kept in the fridge and

consumed within 4-6weeks. Keep ground flax seeds in the fridge or the

freezer and will keep for months.

 

According to Dr Greger ground seeds are much better for you than the

oil, see the brilliant on line lectures by vegan Doctors at:
