How Flaxseed Can Help Your Health

Adding the benefits of Flaxseed to your family's diet has never been more convenient. It can easily be incorporated into meals or baking because Flaxseed is so versatile, tasty and nutritious. Here are some tips and suggestions to start you on your way. Before you know it, you'll be creating new taste sensations of your own!

Buying and Storing Flaxseed

Whole Flaxseed - Purchasing whole flaxseed is the best method to preserve its freshness. Whole flaxseed can be stored at room temperature for up to a year. It's available at Botanic Choice in various sizes to suit your needs.

Ground Flaxseed / Flaxseed Meal - Flaxseed can be purchased already ground, however, it can easily be ground at home using a coffee grinder. For optimum freshness, you should grind it as needed and refrigerate it in an airtight container. Ground flaxseed is also available at Botanic Choice.

Cooking with Flaxseed

Here are just a few suggestions on how to cook with flaxseed:

Add ground flaxseed to macaroni and cheese, spaghetti sauces, muffins, breads, cookies, pancake or waffle mixes. It's a healthy addition that even the pickiest eaters will enjoy.
Use ground flaxseed as part of the filler in hamburgers and meatloaf. No one will be able to tell the difference. Substitute ground flaxseed for part of the coating on chops or chicken; tasty and nutritious!
Start your morning off right with the addition of ground flaxseed to cereals, oatmeal or yogurt. It will add a delightful nutty flavor.
Sprinkle whole flaxseed onto soups just before serving as a healthy garnish. Whole flaxseed also adds a welcome crunch to salads and dips.
Flaxseed can even replace some or all of the oil or shortening in a recipe because of its high oil content. If a recipe calls for 1/3 cup oil, use 1 cup of ground flaxseed to replace the oil (a 3:1 ratio).
Some vegetarians substitute flaxseed for eggs in pancakes, muffins and cookies. When using this substitution, the formula is 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed plus 3 tablespoons water. This will equal the moisture and fat content of one egg. Mix the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl and let sit for 1-2 minutes. You can add to recipes just like you would an egg. Baked goods come out slightly chewier and the volume is slightly decreased, but the taste is just as great!

Flaxseed also available in gels for heart health

Locked in Flaxseed Oil are essential fatty acids (EFAs) that are needed for human survival and good health. These Omega-3 fatty acids are vital to your body because they promote a healthy heart, immune system and digestion. In fact, did you know that Flaxseed is richer in the Omega-3 fatty acids than fish oil? It's true and here are a few more Flaxseed facts:
