You can easily stir ground flaxseed into your morning oatmeal, yogurt, or cereal. It works wonderfully as a binder in baked goods like muffins, breads, and cookies, often replacing eggs when mixed with water. Add a tablespoon or two to your favorite smoothie for a boost of texture and nutrients. It can also be sprinkled over salads or used as a coating for certain dishes. Experiment with different amounts to find your preferred consistency and flavor.
