Culinary Uses
- Ground flaxseeds are better absorbed than whole seeds (our bodies can’t break down whole seeds easily).
- Add to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, or baked goods.
- Use as an egg substitute (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg in vegan baking).
- Sprinkle on salads or mix into homemade granola.
Potential Considerations
High fiber intake may cause bloating if consumed too quickly.
• Drink plenty of water to avoid digestive discomfort.
People with certain conditions (like hormone-sensitive cancers) should consult a doctor before consuming large amounts.
Flaxseed Oil vs. Whole/ Ground Flaxseeds
- Oil contains omega-3s but lacks fiber & lignans.
- Whole/Ground seeds provide full nutritional benefits.
