Have you wondered what to do with Golden Flax seed if it is whole seed?

Grinding your own is the most economical way to eat flax seed! You can use a small coffee grinder to grind the flax. Then you are ready to eat the flax or cook and bake with it!
It is important to grind flax seed, otherwise, it will just pass through the body undigested and your body won't get all the good benefits of the Omega 3 oil, Lignans, and fiber!
The Omega 3 oil in Flax seed can go rancid if it is ground in a coffee grinder or in any way heated, so if you grind your own, then is best to eat the ground flax that day or put it in the fridge!!! --THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH True Cold Milled Flakes o' Gold because:

This is a special and ONE-OF-A-KIND method invented by the farmer and it NEVER exposes the flax seed to any heat; therefore, just like cold-pressed Olive Oil, the flax will not go rancid and you can leave the True Cold Milled Flakes sitting on your shelf easy to use every day!

But honestly! Some of us just don't have the time to grind flax seed!

You MUST be able to EASILY incorporate eating flax into every day life so you can benefit from THE MANY HEALTH BENEFITS of Golden Flax!

Tips for HOW TO use flax in baking and cooking--

I always add small amounts to food, so that my taste-sensitive family never even knows that good HEALTHY flax is in their food!! :)

Start with small amounts and experiment and allow those you cook for to get used to it!

When cooking with flax seed, you can add a little to anything you make so you and your family will experience the wonderful benefits of flax seed ~~because it only has a light nutty flavor, they will not even know it is their food!

You can also add some ground flax (for the benefits) and some whole seed (if you like the crunch) to recipes such as breads, soups, etc!

Let me know of any ideas that you have on how to eat flax seed!!! I LOVE to have new ideas and suggestions! :)

*Substitution tips*
Substitution tips For fats & oils — Substitute flax for fat in your recipes, using 3 tbsp (45 mL) ground flax seed for each 1 tbsp (15 mL) of margarine, butter, or cooking oil (3 to 1). Flax can be substituted for all or some of the fat, depending on the recipe. Note that baked goods substituting ground flaxseed for cooking fats and oils will cause baked goods to brown more rapidly. Also you may have to add less flour so that the dough will not be too thick. A general rule of substitution for flour is to reduce the flour by 1/2 to 3/4 cup and add the equivalent in flax flour. The fiber content of flaxseed flour will require some additional liquid when converting recipes. For eggs — This is especially for those who cook Gluten Free food! Substitute ground flax seed & water mixture for eggs in recipes such as pancakes, muffins, and cookies. Use 1 tbsp (15 mL) ground flax plus 3 tbsp (45 mL) water — left sitting for several minutes — for each egg. Note that this will result in a chewier version of the recipe with less volume.

Because Flax is a FOOD, it is important to be creative and never stop thinking of new ideas and ways of how to eat flax seed!!!
Enjoy your journey to better health!
