is there any health benefits from linseeds?

Question

added in bread

Answer 1

Don't know about bread but if the ground seeds are added to your morning porridge it makes you regular, gives you a lift and helps detox the body.

Answer 2

Flaxseed is claimed to benefit every molecule in the body! It improves the quality of hair, nails, and skin, as well as helping to regulate bodyweight, lower cholesterol and blood pressure and prevent arthritis and cancers.

The flax plant, an ancient crop, yields the fibre from which linen is woven, as well as seeds (linseed or flaxseed) and oil. The oil, also called linseed oil, has many industrial uses - it is an important ingredient in paints, varnishes and linoleum for example.

Grind the seeds or else chew them very well to get the most benefit - whole seeds simply pass through the body. Grinding the seeds just before using them best preserves flavour and nutrition, but pre-ground seeds are more convenient.

There are no nutritional differences between brown and yellow seeds
Combine flaxseed flour with wheat flour for breads and pancakes
The oil can degenerate quickly; keep refrigerated or in a dark place. It usually comes in dark bottles to extend its shelf life
Flaxseed oil cannot be used for frying or sauteing.
Pregnant or lactating women should not eat lots of flax

Answer 3

Linseeds contain omega 3 fats-the 'good' fats we need to maintain health. Another well known source of these is oily fish, such as salmon.
Linseeds also contain fibre, which helps to keep the bowel healthy. In addition, they will lower the Glycaemic Index of the bread (making you feel fuller for longer).

Answer 4

Yes they contain omega-3 but
try this grind together cup of linseed, sesame,sunflower and pumpkin seeds, keep them in an airtight container and then sprinkle a spoonful onto your cereal each morning.This way you will receive all your daily requirements of EFA's ( essential fatty acids).

Answer 5

It's possible, but you'd need to chew very thoroughly to make them count (unbroken seeds are nutritionally unavailable).

Better to put them in a pepper-mill with others (poppy, sesame, etc) and add to cooked dishes and salads as condiment.

Answer 6

I think they have a lot of fibre to keep u regular. You can also buy them on their own and sprinkle them on cereal.
