Where do you find flax seed powder?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@16hilltyKMS : A lot of health stores carry flax seed powder and if you can't find the powder, get the flax seeds and grind them in a spice grinder :)

can i use the flaxseed powder to make pancakes?

1/3 cup of apple sauce is a good egg substitute as well for sweeter dishes.

@noscenario

Ye but it adds a apply taste and not everyone likes that. Me being one :S

[noscenario]

not necessarily. i've done it multiple times and never really tasted it. i use organic unsweetened apple sauce.

F.Y.I. Eggs are very nutritious,they really do not need substituting,unless you are vegetarian.The fat in eggs does not raise your cholesterol,as it is water soluble,and actually eating eggs lowers cholesterol because one side of the fat molecule bonds with water and the other bonds with a trans fat and eliminates trans fat out of your blood system.The idea that the fat in eggs is bad for you is as mythic as the idea that fat in food makes you fat.

That may be so, but this tip is great for me, and I'm not a vegan or vegetarian. I really don't like eggs taste and texture-wise, so I hardly ever have them on hand, and if I do, they often go bad. I do bake occasionally, however, or use them as a binding ingredient. I almost always have flaxseed on hand - so this is super easy. Flaxseed is incredibly nutritious!

[YogiToad]

Yes you are correct,I keep a box of ground flax seed to eat with cereal in the fridge.And,yea the texture is not so appealing,especially if you eat them raw like I used to.

Yeah especially when chickens are given hormones to make them lay eggs all the time..to the point where their vajayjay turns inside out! Lol!

@eskimo00ninja

Ummm my grandma had alot of hens and I know for a fact that they weren't given hormones, but still laid eggs everyday. Maybe not so big or as many in a day, but they still do it. Not all companies use hormones but fair enough, you made a great point :)

thanks for posting this

@YogiToad You must be the spin doctor for the Egg Board. Hmm . . . eggs are bad if you're a vegan. Eggs are bad if you hate factory farms. Eggs are super bad if you have egg allergies. Shall I continue?

Eggs lowering cholesterol is an amazing feat. Please reference a good study that wasn't funded by the Egg and Dairy Board. Better yet, take a hike.

Flax seeds produce a vegetable oil known as flaxseed or linseed oil, which is one of the oldest commercial oils and solvent-processed flax seed oil has been used for centuries as a drying oil in painting and varnishing.

great tip!!!

[angotchi]

where do i get this? is this expensive? :)

[briggybear]

Flax seeds are hilariously cheap. Buy them in the bulk section of health food stores or central market or Whole Foods.

[ExstacyQueen]

Flaxseed can be purchased at some regular grocery stores. A store like Trader Joes, Whole Foods, etc. would have it too. Check in the section with the grains and sometimes in the baking section. You can always ask the sales associate to for guidance. I have bought it from Trader Joe's in the past.

[pathu32]

healthfood stores have flax seeds...you can buy a cheap coffee grinder to grind them up to an *almost* fine powder :) no it's not expensive at all...

First to rate...keep the good work
