Fab Friday Feature


Bob's Red Mill Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal

Ground flaxseeds have a nutty taste and are a noted health-giving digestive aid. They are also high in fiber and are powerful natural cholesterol controllers. In a 2 Tablespoon serving size (13 grams) the fiber content is 1.33 grams of Soluble Fiber and 2.67 grams of Insoluble Fiber. Ground Flaxseeds are a good source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids. In a 2 Tablespoon serving, there is 2400 mg of Omega 3.

I know it looks like it would taste horrible, but it hardly has a taste at all (I promise). I put it in my oatmeal, yogurt, cookie dough, salad dressing, basically everything I can.

All of Red Mill's products are made the old fashioned stone ground way and they are yummy. No one will even notice if you put a few tablespoons in your recipes, so go ahead.....try it!

Oh my goodness, we are food geeks. My family gave me this blueberry roasted flaxseed and it's yum o' in yogurt. Now I need to start adding it to other things!
