Makes delicious flax crackers :-)

I've bought this product several times & find its quality excellent. For all you flax aficionados out there: here's a DELICIOUS & EASY flax cracker recipe that may also win over even the flax-reluctant. I love flaxseed, so my challenge is not to eat half a pan of these fresh from the oven. :-) My husband & dogs love these as well & request them often. Major bonus!!!! The basic recipe is as follows: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine 2 cups of ground flax seed (I use a spice grinder) with spices of your choice. My current favorite is 1 tsp. of herbes de provence & 1/2 tsp. turmeric. I add turmeric especially for the health boost. (The original recipe described by Dr. Greger called for 1/2 tsp. each of smoked paprika, garlic powder & onion powder). I read that some people make graham cracker style flax crackers with honey, molasses & cinnamon. I'm sure this recipe would be tasty savory, sweet or even plain. I made two batches the first day & stored the leftovers in the fridge. They are good cold or warm. Back to the recipe: Add to the dry ground flax spice mix 1 cup of water. Spread the dough 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick onto parchment paper or silicone-lined baking sheet. Score the dough with a knife into squares so the crackers will snap after being baked. Bake for 20 minutes. Super easy, super nutritious, super portable, super yummy! Enjoy!

Great supplement for diabetics.

I bought flax seeds as a supplement for smoothies. It works great to add fiber and protein with fewer carbs. They also contain other important nutrients to assist in breaking down your food so your body can use all those good things you put into it. You will need to soak the seeds to get the most out of the nutrients. I soak one tablespoon of seeds in a cup of filtered water overnight in the refrigerator and then add the seeds, water and all to my smoothie.

Great tasting, huge supply of flaxseed that is in an easy to open, wide mouth container

I purchased this massive container of flaxseed along with a separate grinder in order to start eating flaxseed (1 oz) every day, which gives me a bit over 3 months worth of flaxseed. The container is easy to open, large enough for the opening to put a scooper inside the container to put the flaxseed into my grinder. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. The flaxseed are delicious and I have a huge supply before this re-orders. I'm also incredibly pleased that subscribe and save was available with this product.

Power Blenders Will Pulverize This Flax For The Maximum Nutrition

This flax has the highest 5 star rating I've ever seen on Amazon for a health product. I bought the 96 oz container & didn't realize how big it was. You might start with a smaller size. Don't be put off by the omega-6 content. It has twice as much omega-3, which is very good ratio. Some omega-3 is processed into DHA which is used to keep the brain working into your senior years. Omega-6 fuels the coagulation process, which is dangerous in excess, but necessary to keep you from bleeding to death from a cut. Research also shows flax lowers the risk of breast & prostate cancer. If you're on a budget, flax is an inexpensive health aid.

I guess it is my own fault for not properly ...

I guess it is my own fault for not properly reading the description but I was shocked at the size of this container when it arrived. I thought I was getting one of those bulk spice size containers. WRONG! Lifetime supply right here! 6 pounds of flax seeds! At least I can guarantee my BMs will be regular ;)

Good price

Good price. I use the flax seeds to make heat pillows. Just cut off an old pajama pant leg, securely tie off one end, pour in entire jar of seeds, tie open end, and microwave for 5-6 minutes. Warms chilled feet, eases back pain, and conforms nicely to your body. Better than sleeping with a stuffed animal!

Good stuff...

My wife loves this stuff. She’s a bit of a health nut, and these Flax Seeds are one of her staples. What she likes about this particular purchase of Flax Seed is; - The plastic package is sturdy and has deep “handle” recesses to give her small hands a good grip. - We got about a four year “best by” date, so it will last a long time despite being a huge container. - No fishy or bitter taste. That sounds odd, since it’s a seed, but flax seed can actually taste fishy, especially when it’s going bad. Fresh flaxseed should taste crisp and a little nutty, and this does. If chewing some seeds tastes burnt or bitter, it’s going rancid. - She can keep a quarter cup measuring cup in the package with the seed, which is convenient for grinding batches. Other brands we ordered previously came in bags, so we had to transfer or tape up. - No foreign objects, all seeds appear fresh and uniformly colored. (golden yellow, none discolored, cracked, soft, or damaged.) She whips these seeds up in a coffee grinder for a few seconds (because if they’re not ground up first, your body can’t digest them). She mixes up small batches at a time (about a half cup) and keeps them in the fridge. They are great with PB+J, ice cream, yogurt, etc. Ground flaxseeds immediately start oxidizying and don’t store well, so make small batches that will be used quickly.

This works good for what we wanted it for!

I grind 2 tablespoons each morning for my husband - it really does help with 'over active bladder.' I had read this solution on several web sites and we decided to give it a try. I mix this with his breakfast juice as it works best on an empty stomach from what I researched. This is a convenient container and a large size so I don't have to reorder very often.

It is Good, fresh, and cheap.

This product is fresh, has an expiration date, it is good quality, and the best price. in the market. Because flaxseeds are highly perishable and turn rancid rapidly, you should buy organic whole seeds and grind them yourself just prior to use (avoid pre-ground versions). While flaxseeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fat, they only contain one basic member of the omega-3 fat family. In the case of flaxseeds, virtually all of the omega-3 fat is found in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (often abbreviated "ALA"). This specific kind of omega-3 fat makes up about 50% of the oil in flaxseeds. The omega-3 assembly line starts with ALA. The omega-3 fatty acid ALA, featured in flaxseeds, contains 18 carbons, making it the shortest of the omega-3 fats, and hence the simplest. It retains a position at the beginning of the assembly line with our omega-3 metabolism starting with this compound as a building block. ALA gets elongated into other omega-3 fatty acids. The reason I say that these omega-3 fats "get ready" to turn into other forms is because getting longer is not the only requirement for conversion of one omega-3 to another. A second requirement is what's called "increased desaturation." During this process, the omega-3 fat gets altered chemically so that its carbon atoms are connected together in a new way that provides more reactivity to the fat. This new kind of connection is called double-bonding. For ALA (our starting point for the omega-3 assembly line) to become EPA, two new double bonds must be added in addition to the 2-carbon atom increase in length. The role of other nutrients in omega-3 metabolism The process of lengthening and changing, of elongating and desaturating, the chemical bonds in omega-3 fat is complex, and many nutrients are required to bring it about. To get from ALA to EPA, for example, the required nutrients are: vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium. Nutrient deficiencies can block omega-3 metabolism What happens if an individual is deficient in one or more of the above nutrients? The answer is simple: that individual cannot convert linolenic acid very efficiently into the other longer-chain omega-3 fats. A person with known deficiencies in most of the above-cited nutrients (vitamins B3, B6, C, and the minerals zinc and magnesium) would not be able to get maximum benefit from flaxseeds' omega-3s because he or she would not be able to effectively convert the ALA upward into the other omega-3 fats. Being able to effectively convert ALA upward into these other omega-3 fats is very important to our health, and when we cannot effectively accomplish this task and don't compensate by eating foods that are high in EPA and DHA, we can significantly increase our risk of health problems. For that reason I take Flax Seeds and one capsule 1000mg of Krill Oil per day, which has: Omega-3 fatty acids 230mg, EPA 120mg, and DHA 60mg.
