If I sprout flax seed in water, is it o.k. to eat it without grinding it? Vicki

we recently discovered flax tortillas at costco. even enjoy ground powder with a bit of salt, bit of paprika mix this with cooked rice. heating will convert the omega 3 to 6, so avoid heating if possible.

Great post!

My only addition to your excellent recipe using flaxseed is, for myself, I use Rejuv! for my flaxseed meal. It comes easy to measure and has added value of flax hull lignans which are concentrated. Great antioxidant and packed with Omega-3s. Easy to cook with. I order it exclusively from http://www.rejuvnow.com

It is cold-milled (which is better than grinding it at home) and all natural/organic.

I use it daily in my smoothies. I’ve done the research and it is the best and superior to the flaxseed meal you get at a local health food store or enlightened grocers.

Thanks again for the great post.

I use flax seed on my oatmeal every morning it’s like a morning ritual. It’s the versatility of milled flax seed that keeps me using the kernels as a dietary supplement–I use its sprinkles on pastries, smoothies and even along with soy milk. A few tablespoons of its granules sprinkled over the meals of the day and I can be assured that I’m getting the right amounts of Omega 3 nutrients that will keep my heart healthy and strong. Forgot to grind the flax seed?…well, it’s not a total waste of money, you still benefited from the dietary fibers found on its husk.

Thanks for mentioning you have to grind flax to get the benefits- I ate the seeds on my salad for the longest time before hearing that most of them weren’t being chewed – thus I wasn’t digesting them! Darn, the money I wasted! I’ve been into almonds lately for some reason, but I need to get some more flax too!
By the way, I once tried the flax oil with the cinnamon flavor to it- can’t remember the brand- and it was really good in a chocolate shake (a healthy chocolate shake, you know what I mean)!
