Bob's Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal, 16-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got the 4-pack some time ago, and I've been adding the flax meal to different foods. The omega-3 oil increase definitely is beneficial especially if you're vegetarian, or if you simply eat a lot.
Some good ways to incorporate this healthy stuff into your diet:
- Soup. Don't cook it into the soup, or you'll break down the Omega-3's - apparently cooking destroys the benefit according to what I read about flaxseed oils. Add it to the soup around when you add cheese or croutons
- Sauces and chutneys. Indian cilantro or mint chutney can hold a lot of flaxseed meal without its taste being affected. Likewise for hot sauces, salsas and so on.
- Waffles. The flaxseed meal becomes a kind of solid fat that enrichens the waffle. I add it to regular, chocolate, or oatmeal flour waffles. Yes, the waffle maker may affect the flaxseed meal directly in contact with the hot plates, but the rest of the fsm is not exposed to as much heat.
- As they suggest, breads of all kinds.
- If you're grilling a cheese sandwich, might as well up the fiber content and get whatever Omega-3's as you can salvage. Stick it in the cheese.
- Believe it or don't it incorporates into nachos and pizzas too. If that's all your kid eats, maybe a flaxseed meal infusion will help (but do fix the food habits, fsm is not a fix-all)
DON'T:
- Try to eat it plain, I tried it, and it's about as disgusting as trying to drink vegetable oil, plus it has fiber
- Add it to stuff that is still cooking. No benefit, the fat changes to regular unhealthy Omega-6 with the high heat from contacting the pan surface
- Overdo adding fsm to stuff. I tried to push the envelope, and if you overdo it, the food tastes slick and even a bit soapy, kind of like it's gone bad.
- Add it to clear liquids or foods. Sounds obvious, but once you feel a benefit (it can take a week or so) you can get carried away. The last thing you want is to be disgusted by it.

Salba Smart Whole Grain, 12.7 Ounce Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With age, my tummy has decided it doesn't like me very much, and this product gives me a nutritious breakfast, that fills me up and is easy on my stomach.
I enjoy this best when I soak 2 Tablespoons of the seeds in a cup of water or milk overnight. It forms into a gel by the next morning. If I've soaked it in milk, I add a tablespoon or so of Nestle's Chocolate Quick, and it tastes a little like chocolate tapioca pudding. If I've mixed it with water, I add a bit of Tang the next morning, and it tastes like a fruity-flavored slush. Sometimes, I also add shelled hemp seeds and/or cocoa nibs for a little more nutrition and flavor. When I add these extras, I also run it through the blender so I won't have to "chew" my shake.
I also like that this has lots of fiber. It doesn't have much taste on it's own, so it takes on the flavor of whatever I'm mixing it with.
