I was wondering if anyone has ideas to use flax seed (not oil) in dishes other than baking. I'm sure there are ways we could use it, but I'm drawing a culinary creativity blank!
I don't really cook with flaxseed, although I've had a container of them for about 4 months - an impulse buy.
But I have heard they are ineffective until you grind them. I figured, when I'm ready, I'd use my mini chopper to grind them.
Perhaps we'll both get ideas here.
Thanks for the thread.
Thanks for the ideas. Do you store them ground? I don't and that is often the turn off... one more step of prep grinding them. Like anything though, of course it keeps better that way.
Put the GROUND (not whole) seeds in your cereal or fruit smoothies. I use it in my pancakes all the time. Just a note: If you use whole flaxseeds the oils are not present so you get no benefits. Grind them in a blender, processor or coffee grinder before using.
