Product Description

Product Description

Flax seed is often called a miracle food because its omega-3 oils have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, lower cholesterol levels, and fight other ailments including cancer. Only when the flax seed is broken down, which is a messy, time-consuming process at home, can your body fully absorb its benefits. That's why we break it down for you! Our Milled Flax Seed is gluten free and wheat free by nature. Enjoy its light nutty flavor in fruit smoothies, sprinkled over soup, or substitute a portion of the flour, oil or eggs in baked goods with milled flax seed. Each serving provides 2600mg of vital omega-3 oils!

I was using Bob's Red Mill ground flax seed before now and personally do not see any difference since I started using Hodgson Mill, though I just saw a couple of reviews saying Bob's was coarser and tasted better. I have not detected any difference.

I like that it comes as a sealed bag in a in a box as it is easier to store (I keep it in my freezer after opening to maintain freshness and avoid it going rancid etc. though the fridge is probably just as good).

I add flax seed to my cereal - usually oatmeal, but more recently have been adding a couple of tablespoons to the junky cereals my kids use. I have also added it to applesauce and have added it to bread and pizza dough too. When I was making waffles once I added some blueberries and some flax seed meal and they were great.

This is a good way to get my Omega 3 since I dont like fishy fish. It is also a way to get good fiber. In order to get the omega benefit of flax it has to be the ground flax and I used to grind it myself but this is much more convenient. this particular brand of flax seed is my favorite among the ones I have found in the store. I like it better than Bob's red mill atho get that if I have to.

I buy this with the automatic ordering every 6 months and it saves me money and no shipping if done this way along with the 10% off. I put several heaping teaspoons in my cranberry juice in the morning. some people put it in baked goods or on cereal. I have also added to rice mixtures, casseroles, hot chocolate etc - whatever strikes my fancy.

I've been receiving this product via auto delivery for over a year. It's so convenient to have items shipped automatically plus you receive an additional discount on the price along with free shipping. I mix flax seed with milk, yogart, cereal, etc. You can also bake with it. A good way to get Omega 3!
