Flaxseed can be added to your cooking in its ground or whole seed form. Have a look at our information on cooking with flax seed oil.
Ground flaxseed
Grind a desired amount of flax seed to a free-flowing granular consistency in a coffee bean grinder. Added to any foods, the ground flax seed enhances the flavour, appearance and food value of the finished product.
Whole flaxseed
The small, golden flax seeds add nutrition when added to bread dough, pancake, muffin or cookie mixes. When sprinkled on top of any of these before baking, they also add crunch, taste and eye appeal.
Recommended Daily Usage
To get the maximum benefits from the Omega-3 flax seeds we recommend using 3 tablespoons of ground flax seeds per day. A 20 Ib supply of un-ground flax seeds will generally last one person for about a year.
Storage
Whole flax seed which is clean dry and of good quality, can be stored at room temperature for up to a year. For optimum freshness, ground flax seed should be ground as needed. Unused ground flaxseed can be refrigerated in an airtight container if it will be used in just a matter of days, or it can be stored in the freezer for about a month.
Substitutions for recipes
For Fat - Substitute flax for fat in your recipes, using 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed for 1 tablespoon of margarine, butter or cooking oil. Flax can be substituted for all or some of the fat, depending on the recipe. Note that baking with flax, as fat substitute will cause baked goods to brown more quickly.
For Eggs - Substitute a ground flax seed/water mixture for eggs in recipes such as pancakes, muffins, and cookies. Use 1 tablespoons ground flax plus 3 tablespoons of water ?left sitting for several minutes ?for each egg. Note that this will result in a chewier version of the recipe, with less volume.
Note - When cooking flaxseed at high temperatures, this will cause it to oxidize it too rapidly, and so it is recommended that you add fresh ground flaxseed to prepared foods. For example:
· On hot or cold cereals · Mixed with juice or water · Blended in a fruit smoothie · On top of stir-fried dishes · On salads and added to soups · Spread on a buttered bagel · In tomatoe juice, in apple sauce · Topping for ice cream or yogurt · As a dip for bananas and other fruit · With Cottage Cheese
