Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Flaxseed Meal
What it is
This is a finely ground meal made from whole flaxseeds. The grinding process makes the nutrients in the flaxseeds more accessible for your body to absorb. It has a mild, nutty flavor and a slightly coarse texture. This product is a good way to add extra goodness to your everyday meals.
How people cook with it
- Baked goods
- Smoothies
- Oatmeal
- Yogurt toppings
You can easily incorporate this flaxseed meal into your diet. Stir it into your morning oatmeal or yogurt for added texture and nutrients. When baking, it can be used as an egg substitute in some recipes, or simply added to bread, muffin, or cookie batters to enhance their wholesome qualities. Start with small amounts to get accustomed to its flavor and texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to whole flaxseeds, this meal is already ground, meaning your body can more readily access its beneficial components. Whole seeds may pass through the digestive system undigested. The meal also has a softer texture than whole seeds, blending more seamlessly into dishes.
How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of the flaxseed meal fresh, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is recommended to maintain its quality and prevent it from going rancid, especially after opening the package. Ensure it is sealed well to protect it from moisture and odors.
