What is the best flax seed and is it good for the bowel? Also what's the best way to incorporate it in my diet

Answer 1

You have to grind it -- unground, it will pass through you without doing you any good.

To incorporate it into your diet, just sprinkle it on cereal, stir-fry, salad, etc. You can also use flax seed oil and add it to salads or smoothies (only a little -- it has a distinct flavor that may take getting used to).

quick smoothie: put some frozen raspberries in the blender. Add chocolate or mocha Silk (soymilk) or chocolate milk, a scoop of chocolate protein powder (optional), a little flaxseed oil -- blend & drink. If you put in too many frozen raspberries or not enough milk, you can blend and eat with a spoon!

Answer 2

Answer 3

I purchased a vacuum sealed bag of ground flax seed and I add it to smoothies and home made oatmeal cookies. It has no taste.

Answer 4

Either you have to mill it or make sure to buy it milled. Organic grown is best. Also so the milled seeds stay fresh longer, buy them in a vacuum sealed container. Then keep them in refrigerater after opening. All the above makes it cost more.
