Premium Gold Whole Flax Seed | High Fiber Food | Omega 3 | 26oz 4pk

Like this product, Premium Gold Whole Flax Seed, 26 Ounce Jars (Pack of 4), a whole lot. Once you grind them they smell nutty and delicious, and can be used in so many ways, but I use them in smoothies. Also, to my delight, I found out that a VitaMix, which I am a proud owner of the 750, will grind these seeds to fine powder. I do not have the dry blade container, just the all purpose container and was gladly surprised it was all that was needed. I tried it with only the flax seeds (about half a cup) and it yields a very nice amount, and I also tried it with all the fruits, vegetables and water included, and as long as you run it enough time (about 30 seconds?), you get a really fine final product. Flax seed is a tasty addition to just about any creation, and these containers are top quality. The price was not too shabby, considering that they were shipped to my home no driving at all. 4.5 Stars.

For you vegans that want a great source of omega-3, here is the answer.I use a small spice/coffee grinder to freshly grind two or three tablespoons of this flax seed. I put the ground flax seed in my bowl of oat meal every morning. The flax seed will quickly thicken the oat meal so you'll need to add some almond or soy milk to thin down the mix. I also use erythritol, powdered cinnamon and sliced bananas to sweeten and flavor the cereal. It's a great way to start your morning with a very filling and heart healthy meal.

Flax seed meal is a fantastic food ingredient. To get the freshest meal, with heart-healthy oils, lots of fiber, and fresh taste, I grind my own in a little blender.I use the meal in several ways:It's great on yogurt with fresh fruit.It's a great gratin topping, with wheat germ, bread crumbs, and cheese.I bake it into the bread I make with my Breadman Ultimate bread machine.Don't buy the oil. Forget the capsules. The meal is what contains the best and the most - the protein, fiber, texture, flavor, and heart-healthy fatty acids. And, if you grind it yourself, it's cheap and fresh.

I bought this on sale and it was a fantastic deal. I've been trying to work more flax seed into our diet, mostly it's been the brown flax seed. I liked this because it doesn't make the food darker looking. Usually the brown seeds are cheaper, but with the sale these seeds were a bargain. I understand there isn't a difference with the health benefits. We bought a cheap coffee grinder and will grind seeds to then add to oatmeal, bread products, and even cookies. When I make pancakes with Bisquick I toss in a little ground flax. Really, if it has flour in it we add ground flax. I know some people leave the seeds whole, but I read that your body gets more nutrients from the seed when they're ground, and freshly ground is the best.

Really like that these come in sealed plastic jars rather than paper packaging. Didn't realize that I bought FOUR jars in the order. Will give long shelf life unopened. I keep the one I have open in the refrigerator to keep it from going rancid. Grind it fresh in spice grinder to add to smoothies, oatmeal cereal.

this was the best deal ever and I am very happy with the product...packaged in quality conatiners and easy to use and store...with the pack or 4 for less that $16.00 it makes this a real bargain. I use this every day and split this order with a co-worker.

Love this product. Will order again. Grinds up real nice and has a good fresh flavor. Easy to store in my freezer and fridge because of the container.

The only problem with flax seeds is that you must grind them. Before I knew that, I was sprinkling them whole atop jelly and English muffins because they are so delicious. They're pretty tasty when ground up, but in that form they must be implemented into a recipe. I mix the powdered flax seeds with raw oats, yogurt, and fruit for a super healthy breakfast! I definitely recommend it!
