Review

Learn how flax is an important source of essential fats--omega-3s and omega-6s-- necessary for the body to function properly. Over 80 delicious recipes show how easy it is to use flax oil and ground flaxseed in your cooking.

From the Back Cover

Flax is a nutritional powerhouse and a super-healing food. Even in orthodox medical circles it's being studied as a "nutraceutical": a food with many nutrients and pharmaceutical properties. Everyone could benefit by adding flaxseeds to their diet, especially those who suffer from constipation, intestinal and digestive problems, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, and cardiovascular and other degenerative diseases.

Flax contains important essential fats, omega-3s and omega-6s, which are necessary for the proper functioning of many organs and are not produced by the body. It's also rich in lignans, which have antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties and may play a key role in the prevention of breast, prostate, uterine, and colon cancers.

Enjoy over 80 delicious recipes for using ground flaxseeds and flax oil by best-selling vegetarian authors Barb Bloomfield (Soups On!, Fabulous Beans) and Judy Brown (Natural Lunchbox, Judy Brown's Guide to Natural Foods Cooking). Siegfried Gursche, developer of quality flax products and publisher of natural health publications, provides information on flax and nutrition and how to incorporate flax into your daily diet.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough information about flax
    Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2004
    Verified Purchase
    This book has a brief introduction about the benefits of using
    flax seeds and flax oil. The bulk of the book consists of vegan
    recipes that use either flax seeds or flax oil as ingredients.
    The introduction has a useful explanation (short, not worth buying
    the book for) of why you can bake with flax seeds and not lose the
    health benefits of the omega 3 oils found in the flax seeds.
    The introduction is very short, does not do justice to the health
    benefits of flax, and seems to have a huckersterish tone to it which
    turned me off.
    The recipes actually use very small amounts of flax seed and flaxoil.
    They look like regular recipes recycled for the book by adding a dash
    of flax to the ingredients list.
    People interested in making very flax rich recipes would be better
    served by reading the recipes on barleans.org.
    People who are interested in reading a well documented account of the
    health benefits of flax seeds would be better off reading
    FLAX YOUR WAY TO HEALTH by Jane Reinhardt-Martin RD, LD.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know about flax!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2001
    Verified Purchase
    This book is a quick and easy read since only about 16 pages, the introduction, are text. The rest of the book contains recipes for using ground flaxseed and flaxseed oil. That is not to say that it's not worth the money-it will tell you everything you need to know about this essential part of the vegetarian diet. Many of us have missed the boat on flax. We have heard about omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, but it's often unclear exactly why we need them, why they are so important. This book goes into detail on that subject without being boring or difficult to understand. And it gives you over 80 ways to incorporate flax in your diet, recipes for breakfast, breads, spreads and dips, salads and dressings, soups, entrees, side dishes, and desserts. Two of the authors, Barb Bloomfield and Judy Brown, are well-known vegetarian authors. Siegfried Gursche, has a long history as a researcher and developer of flax. He is also the publisher of alive magazine and alive books and the author of Healing with Herbal Juices.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good intro, but mostly a cookbook w/all recipes using flax
    Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2005
    Verified Purchase
    Nice, short introduction about flax, but not enough historical information. I thought I was purchasing a book with in-depth coverage of flax seeds and oil, but instead I got a brief overview of flax and a number of recipes. I would call this book a flax seed and oil cookbook with some good, basic information about therapeutic uses, nutritional value and (brief) history of flax. I would like to see a book with more historical data and medicinal uses of flax. Also authors mention a good nutritious German flax-rye bread in intro, but fail to give a recipe. Bread recipes are for yeasted breads or quick breads. Recipes seem good- some very basic- all are vegan and vegetarian.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Here's To Your Health with Flax
    Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2000
    Flax - the Super Food - Book Review The Introduction, provides a helpful background on flax that's easy to understand. The author speaks from his experience, having developed, marketed, and distributed flax products for the health food market as well as studied flax farming and pressing techniques. Covered is the history of flax, from before Christ, to the present, including where flax is raised today. The author gives illustrations of how flax has helped both animals and humans. Flax can be a food and a medicine, both on the inside (in food and as a laxative) as well as on the outside (as poultices for healing wounds and healthy skin). There is a good explanation of the fiber, mucilage, lignans, and oil in flax and their health benefits. There are helpful consumer tips on how to purchase, use, and store flax oil and flax (both the brown and the newer gold varieties of flax.) The author stresses how to buy flax oil in small quantities, in dark containers, and "cold-expeller-pressed" as heating and refining changes the flax oil into unhealthy trans fats. The recipe section, written by two cookbook authors, features a variety of healthy, vegetarian recipes that include not only flax but also soy foods such as tofu and soy milk. Each recipe has a helpful nutritional analysis. To eliminate confusion ,it might help to explain whether a recipe calling for "ground flaxseeds" means to measure the flax before or after grinding. Some other helpful additions to the book might be: o A mini conversion chart of how much whole flax seed equals how much ground flax o A nutritional analysis of flax and flax oil, such as found on a food label, that would include the calories, fat, fiber, protein content, etc o A few more documented human research studies from places such as NCI (National Cancer Institute) to further substantiate the many health benefits of flax. o A bit more discussion by a nutritionist discussing omega 3 and omega 6 fats, including possibly a chart showing the fat composition of flax and flax oil by the percentage of each type of fat. o A list of flax resources (books, web sites) and places to get flax in the US and Canada - such as the Flax Council of Canada.
