Flax Seed

A question came up in one of my WW meetings a while ago  about flax seed. Personally, I use the milled flax seed and put it in almost everything......cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, cakes........and anything I want to add some GOOD healthy dietary fiber and Omega 3s. It is gluten free, has no sugar or salt or cholesterol and 0 trans fat.

You can also get flax seed oil. However: Oil contains little or no dietary fiber -- anti-cancer lignans are in the fiber; oil is more expensive than seed; and oil is lower in Omega 3s.

Here is a website to give you more info on flax seed or you can just Google it: http://www.goldenflax.com/flax-seed-oil.html

Also, check out www.hodgsonmill.com for info and recipes. That's the brand I use.

Sooooo.......slip some flax seed into your recipes! 

Later!

Loving Life(time)!
