Bob's Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseeds, 24-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4)

I ordered this flaxseed after reading how good ground flaxseed was for you. I ordered a grinder, both were reasonably priced, and the grinding was so easily accomplished. I have been using flaxseed daily since that time, and the claims made on the Internet have proven to be true. The product arrived on time and in great shape--I have purchased from this vendor several times, and have not been disappointed.

I bought this before I realized how much I was getting and before I knew they had it at the grocery store! That was my own fault. I really should have waited. But the seeds are great, I just have way too many in my freezer!

I've been taking flaxseeds for several years due to the health benefits. I was excited to see such a great price on these from a reputable company. These are the best tasting flaxseeds I have ever had. To get the maximum health benefits you have to finely grind them in a standard coffee grinder. We usually grind 2 tablespoons per person twice a day and then add them to lemonade, crystal light, or tea and drink it down quick before it expands. Flaxseeds are loaded with minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and fiber. They are excellent for weight loss and work well for chronic constipation. There are several web sites out there that can tout the health benefits of flaxseeds but unfortunately it's against the review guidelines to post links so I'll just suggest to those of you wanting more information to search google.

I hope that this is really as nutritious as the claims. I chew on this like the Romans and Greeks and it gets stuck on my molars.

These seeds were easier going down when sprinkled on top of crab and egg fried rice. Go figure.

I incorporated a 1.5 cup into the regular white loaf recipe from The Breadbaker's Apprentice and found that the addition meant more warm water was needed to hydrate the dough and I did not get much of a rise, so I baked the loaf with tin foil over the loaf pan and the bread rose to its usual height. Since white bread is not that healthy, I will include flax seed ground in my food processor to ameliorate the ill effects.

Flaxseed is a great way to get fiber in your diet and this brand delivers. It has a mild taste (I put 3 tablespoons in my morning smoothie) and gives you 36% of your daily fiber required intake. Flaxseed also contain Omega 3 so you also place a powerhouse of nutrients in your diet with this little seed.

An excellent source of protein, fiber, and minerals such as magnesium and copper- how can you go wrong?
