Shall you eat whole or ground sesame seeds?
I think it doesn't matter but if you eat whole flax seeds you have to chew them well. The outside of flax seed is too hard to break apart by chewing and whole flax seed is not properly digested to get out the nutrients. The recommendation is to use either flax seed oil to use already ground flax seed.
What is a replacement for wheat germ?
I have successfully substituted ground flax meal for wheat germ in some baking recipes with great success. I thought the flavour and texture was much better.
Can you cook flaxseeds?
No, you should not cook with flax seed oil, nor should you heat it above 120°F. Flax oil contains high levels of polyunsaturated fats -- these are good for us when intact, but are destroyed by heat, thereby releasing free radicals. Use oils higher in monounsaturated fats for cooking (e.g. olive or canola oil) and only use flax seed oil cold, such as in salad dressings.
What is the best way to eat flax seed?
Flax seeds can be eaten whole, ground or as flax oil. It is usually recommended that the seeds be ground for maximum benefit, otherwise the seeds may simply pass through the digestive system, whilst flax seed oil contains only some of the nutrients of flax, having neither the fiber nor the phytochemicals of the whole seed.
How do you eat flax seed?
Flax seeds must be finely ground into a meal to get the maximum benefits from the omega-3 oil and dietary fiber. You can use a coffee grinder and dedicate its use to grinding flax seeds. Once ground, the flax seeds should be consumed quickly, because the oil in the seeds oxidizes rapidly. Try to consume 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed daily, and make sure you drink plenty of water when adding flax seed to your diet. Ground flax seed can easily be mixed into salad dressing, or added on top of dishes including salads, stir-fry, soup, stews, and cereal. Flax seeds are 35-40% oil, so a similar amount of oil may be omitted from any recipe requiring oil that also includes ground flax seeds. Similarly, about 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds steeped in 3 tablespoons of warm water for 2-3 minutes will substitute for one egg in recipes.
Can you make pancakes without eggs?
I'm sure you could, but it wouldn't turn out right. If you prefer not to use eggs, they have pre-made pancake mix at the grocery store so that you only have to add water.
How do you make pancakes without eggs and milk?
try flour and water ( Ugh! ) it is better to use shredded potatoes and a little butter to keep it together. I prefer to use milled flax seed instead of eggs. The conversion on the box I use (Hodgson Mill) says one tablespoon of flax plus 3 tablespoons of water equals one egg. I usually mix the flax substitute first and let it sit for a few minutes to let the mixture congeal. The effect that it has in food is equivalent to what you would get had you just used egg whites. I made a batch of bisquick pancakes with the egg substitute last night and they came out nice, thick and fluffy. I use flax in baking all of the time and my friends never notice the difference. Sidenote: flax is also a great source of omega 3.

Do you have to refrigerate whole flax seed?
Unless you are going to use the flax seed rather quickly it should be stored in the refrigerator. Flax seed's wonderful oils are prone to rancidity if left at room temperature for too long a period of time. I always store my flours, nuts and seeds in the fridge and freezer to prevent rancidity. You'll know it when you smell it. It's like opening a bag of crackers that's been in your pantry for 7 months and they smell beyond stale, they smell rancid. Yuck! Protect your Omega 3 oils in that flax by keeping it cool. :)

How many grams of flax seed meal in a tablespoon of flax seed meal?
According to genericflaxseed.com, 1/4 cup of flax seed has 20 grams of fibre. yes, 1/4 cup of flaxseed contains 20 grams of fiber, therefore, 1 tbsp,1/2oz, of which there are 4 in a 1/4 cup, contains 1/4 of 20, i.e. 5 grams of fiber in 1 tbsp of flaxseeds, ground or not. grinding them releases the oils which oxidize rather quickly making it essential to grind them immediately before use in order to obtain the most nutritional value from them.
