Recipes made with Flaxseeds

Flaxseeds, also known as linseeds, are small, oval-shaped seeds derived from the flax plant. They can be ground into flaxseed meal using a coffee grinder or purchased pre-ground. Ground flaxseeds are easier for the body to digest and absorb the nutrients. They can be added to smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, or baked goods like muffins and bread for a boost of fiber, omega-3s, and a subtle nutty taste. Whole flaxseeds can also be used as a topping for salads, cereals, or added to homemade granola.
