Well, truly you can use flax seed in any way that you want!

Using them the way you describe, you’re not as likely to receive the full benefit, though. Careful chewing or grinding or soaking or a combination of these seems to activate most of the nutrients that we expect from these little brown seeds.

In addition, some people do experience an uncomfortable bloating when eating flax seed that way. If you’re not, don’t worry about it. But if you feel some discomfort, simply prepare them in one of the ways suggested.

Let me know if you have any other questions. I’ll do my best to offer something of value.

Joyfully,

I like to sprinkle whole flax seed directly onto my salads. Is that OK?

Oh how wonderful that you are hooked on flax. Let me know how to like flax in your salad dressing. You might also add some avocado to salad dressing, as that is very healthy oil, with a nice green color and texture.

Enjoy,

The last time I bought the golden ones to try them – but will go back to the darker ones next and see which I like better.

So far I have just been sprinkling it on my morning cereal. But I think I’ll add some to my salad dressing – would be a good thickener since I try to use much less oil than most recipes call for.

When I used to buy flax seed oil, I liked to use it on a baked sweet potato with some chopped nuts – not a raw food meal, but I like it as an alternative lunch in cold weather. the flax seed oil is a nice change from butter.
