Uncle Sam Toasted Whole Wheat Flakes & Flaxseed Cereal, Original 10 oz (284 g) Review

(More customer reviews)
I discovered Uncle Sam cereal in the local supermarket in 1977, searching for something for a friend that was suffering from constipation problems. I've been hooked on it ever since - it has 10 grams of fiber, and it really does keep your system cleaned out - it's tasty (I eat it with Soymilk) and I do like the texture (it's crunchy and the flax seeds also add an interesting twist). Be sure to chew the flax seeds thoroughly. It is very filling, too.

Since 1908100% Whole Grains10g FiberOmega-3 Fatty Acids from Flaxseedless than 1g SugarRecommendations for all the right reasons!Whole Grain & Fiber: Just take a look at the flakes and you can see the shape of the original grain. Our traditional "rolledberry" method preserves the natural fiber, nutritional value, and flavor of the wheat making every flake of Uncle Sam® cereal a true whole grain.Why choose whole grains? Whole grains are complex carbohydrates. This means they are the type of carbohydrate that is an excellent source of fiber. A single serving of Uncle Sam cereal provides 10g of dietary fiber, including both soluble and insoluble fiber. Fiber helps maintain blood sugar levels which is important for those trying to lose or maintain weight and improve energy. It also helps to lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of diabetes, and promote regularity. Whole grains are rich sources of several vitamins and minerals including antioxidants and phytochemicals - all of which may help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and the effects of aging.Flaxseed: nearly all of the fat found in Uncle Sam Cereal is "heart healthy" fat based from flaxseed. Flaxseed is one of the best sources of plant omega-3 fatty acids - "essential fatty acids" that cannot be made by the body and must be provided by diet. Omega-3 fatty acid may help prevent cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and inflammatory disorders as well as lower the risk of some cancers and aid in mental acuity and metabolism. The fat found in Uncle Sam cereal is working hard to keep you healthy! In addition, flaxseed contains both soluble and insoluble fiber as well as lignans, plant chemicals which may help to reduce the risk of certain cancers.Low Sugar: A serving of Uncle Sam cereal has less than 1g sugar! We use just a touch of barley malt to enhance the natural flavor and sweetness of the whole grain. A diet low in added sugar

I bought this on sale and it was a fantastic deal. I've been trying to work more flax seed into our diet, mostly it's been the brown flax seed. I liked this because it doesn't make the food darker looking. Usually the brown seeds are cheaper, but with the sale these seeds were a bargain. There isn't a difference with the health benefits.

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.

I got a few packages of these... used some for my daughter (for the Omega-3 fatty acids, as they help with brain function... she is speech impaired) and for my grandpa (who has high blood pressure & had a stroke.)
You simply add a few spoonfuls to your oatmeal... my grandpa's cholesterol went down 50 points in one month. (None of his medication had been able to do that.)
My 5 y.o. daughter didn't notice this in her oatmeal... I tried it, and there is no added taste, just health benefits :)
Great product. We always have it at our house.

This is a good way to get my Omega 3 since I dont like fishy fish. It is also a way to get good fiber. In order to get the omega benefit of flax it has to be the ground flax and I used to grind it myself but this is much more convenient. this particular brand of flax seed is my favorite among the ones I have found in the store. I like it better than Bob's red mill atho get that if I have to.
I buy this with the automatic ordering every 6 months and it saves me money and no shipping if done this way along with the 10% off. I put several heaping teaspoons in my cranberry juice in the morning. some people put it in baked goods or on cereal. I have also added to rice mixtures, casseroles, hot chocolate etc - whatever strikes my fancy.

Flax seed is often called a miracle food because its omega-3 oils have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, lower cholesterol levels, and fight other ailments including cancer. Only when the flax seed is broken down, which is a messy, time-consuming process at home, can your body fully absorb its benefits. That's why we break it down for you! Our Milled Flax Seed is gluten free and wheat free by nature. Enjoy its light nutty flavor in fruit smoothies, sprinkled over soup, or substitute a portion of the flour, oil or eggs in baked goods with milled flax seed. Each serving provides 2600mg of vital omega-3 oils!

I have tried 10 different brands of flaxseed meal and can tell you that this is by far the best tasting and has the most consistent quality. There are two types of flaxseeds, brown and golden. Both have the same nutritional value, but golden flaxseed is significantly smoother in taste and not as pungent/bitter aftertaste. I especially like Bob's Red mill for the organic offerings at a minimal price increase. I regularly sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons on my cereal in the morning to give it a nutritional punch of fiber, protein and essential fatty acids. The texture is very fine and almost has no noticeable effect on the cereal, if I went with 1 Tbls, you wouldn't even know it was there. I highly recommend giving Bob's products a try, I am sure you will find it as enjoyable as I have. Always store flaxseed meal refrigerated, opened or not.

I decided to go on the low GI and found that this cereal was low gi and high in fiber. I get 50% of my fiber from one bowl of this and don't have to worry about the usual added (or hidden) sugar or sweeteners that is in many other cereals that say they are healthy like fiber one. Also, this tastes very good!

I have been consuming flaxseed for nearly a year under doctor's orders after I developed muscle pain with a series of statins. I also take niacin and endure the flushing.
Researched flax recommendations on a number of medical and health sites and determined that ground flax was the way to go, providing it was properly stored. This product pouch is a reasonable size for refrigeration after opening and I don't even mind carting it along on trips. The unopened pouches are kept in normal home temps, and I've had no spoilage problems.
I add the ground flax to fresh fruit salads, cottage cheese, mix it with honey or peanut butter, and have even added it to an omelet. The easiest mode is with cold cereal, but admittedly it gums up in milk if not consumed quickly. Anyway it's consumed it is preferable to potential permanent muscle damage with statins.
Cholesterol numbers moved 20-25 points in the right directions after 90 days with this regimen (coupled with fish oil).
Delivery on the subscription plan is timely and convenient.

Foods Alive Golden Flax Crackers, Regular, 4-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6) Review

Foods Alive Golden Flax Crackers, Regular, 4-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wanted to like these crackers, given the awesome nutritional profile and ingredients. I would say two and a half stars, and it's because the idea is great but the execution is not so good. I'm just unhappy that I'm stuck with five more bags of these things.
There are two primary weaknesses:
1) Lack of flavor. I think I need to try the other cracker flavors, because these are just whole flaxseeds with some Bragg Liquid Aminos (soy sauce, basically) and lemon juice, and the flavor is just not enough for me.
2) Awful chewing experience. When you eat one of these, the flaxseeds stick. Everywhere. Between your teeth. On the roof of your mouth. Lodged around your jaw. Really, it takes a long time to feel like you don't have flax embedded everywhere in your mouth. Not a very social snack, for this reason.
I hope they keep working on this, as the idea is good.
