    Hi,

    Flaxseeds is known as San, Alsi in Hindi, Gujarati, and Punjabi, Ali vidai in Tamil. Flaxseed is also known as Linseed, Atasi, and Jawas in Marathi, Tishi in Bengali, Pesi in Oriya, Agasi in Kannada, Avise ginzalu in Telugu, and Cheruchana vithu in Malayalam.

    we can use one table spoon flour per day in any form in our diet. Hope this helps.

    I use it while preparing Chappathi.It has lot of nutrional values especially good fat and fibre.

    And also in place of eggs I use flax powder mixed with water for baking.

    Thanks

    Is it odorless? Coz few people in my house never agree to any new ingredient inspite of its medicinal value. If at all they smell anything odd sure they wont eat it :( . Hope this doesnt affect the basic flavour of chappathi or any dish!

    I think the odour depends on the sensitivity of nose.:rotfl
    In my house my DH and 2 year old loves flax chappathi.I use the ground flax for chappathi
    I also eat Organic Valley Flax Seed cereal which has seeds in them.It clean my track very well.

    try it maybe little bit.

    Thanks
