How do you use flax seed?!
Answers:
Hello
Some people grind them, others just add them whole as they are only small:-
Soups
Salads
Just in Water & Drink
Pate (soak them in water for a few hours and then mix in other ingredients & blend)
Smoothie
Try the recipes below, I cannot remember where I got them from last year:-
Bean & Potato Salad - (1 tsp ground linseed, 2 tbsp hot water, 2lbs small, 1 cup corn, ? cup red pepper, ? cup spring onions, 30oz or 3 cups black beans, pepper/chilli, 1 large tomato, ? cup lime juice, 1 clove garlic, ? tsp salt, ? tsp cumin, ? tsp black pepper. Cook all & add lime juice at end)
Raw Seed Bar - (seed mix 25g each of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, 75g linseeds. Ars 75g oats, 50g chopped dates, chopped apricots, grated coconut, 2tsp carob powder, 1tbsp brown rice flour, blackstrap molasses, 1tbsp agave or maple syrup, 2tbsp lime juice. Grnind pumkin, sunflower and sesame seeds in processor but not into putty. Grind hemp and linseeds in a coffee grinder or pestel. Mix both. Mis snack bar ingredients and add 4tbsp essential seed mix, molasses, agave syrup and lime juice. Flatten into 4 bars)

You can sprinkle flax seeds on soup, salads, into sandwiches, etc. They're virtually flavorless even when you bite into them. They are very healthy. They're the best alternative for your omegas if you're avoiding fish (which is advisable). Or you can get a coffee grinder and grind up the flax seeds and then sprinkle them into a smoothie or something else of which is usually creamy. They're an excellent superfood. Hope this helps!
you can put it in smoothies, but you must grind them first because all the nutrients are inside the seed and our stomachs cannot break down the outer shell.
I use flax meal (ground up flax seed) mixed with water as an egg replacer. Flax seed is earthy in flavor, it tastes good in pancakes/cookies/waffles recipes like that.

I put flax seeds in my granola and also on toast with Sunbutter/almond butter!
