Flaxseed: how to consume?

You can have a tsp of it as it is.

You can also powder it and add it to your food, like dal sambhar etc.

Just make sure you chew them properly if you are having them whole.

 

No need to soak them, neither do you have to have them on an empty stomach.

Just have a tsp along with your regular food, anytime during the day. Even with rice and dal, its ok.

Hmmm......so sambhar is a complicated thing to cook?... Can't believe this is coming from someone who comes from south

 

Someone told me it is very good for health, especially hair. So I started eating just like that - like a teaspoonful of sugar. Just put it in my mouth and wash it down with water. However, not sure if it is related, but some months thereafter had an issue with my monthly cycles and read somewhere flaxseed can create problems at which point I discontinued eating this stuff.

 

Op.do u make masala powder. I toast them and adds in it. U can mix flax powder in roti dough too

 

Hi nemesis,
My sister had flaxseed everyday during her pregnancy for omega 3 in food... She boiled it with milk and added sugar, pepper for taste... But she said its too sticky and have no good taste... Anyways, her in laws compelled her to eat everyday and she had it too...

 

Throwing in a home remedy using flax seeds:

If you get something in your eye that you cannot get out, put a dry flax seed under the lower lid and leave it. It will get sticky and the foreign body will stick to it and then remove the flax seed.

 

I read somewhere that heating flaxseed reduces it's nutritional value. I was thinking of adding flaxseed powder to roti dough, dal, rice, sabzi etc in daily cooking....not sure if it will still give the same benefit as without heating them.anyone has any idea
