Another way to get the goodness of flax seed is to take the oil. A nice way to do this is to use it on salad with some lemon juice....very nice taste in my opinion.

You might try the Krusteaz mixes...they are good although for me they are too sweet (I don't eat sweets any more). They have good coffee cakes that are easy.

Thanks Tina! Yes, when I was googling about Flaxseed benefits, came across the benefits of flaxseed oil also. Wonderful tip to use it on salads!

I have been told that the best flaxseed oil is Barlean's which you buy from the refrigerated section in health food store. It is fresh and potent but you must keep it in the fridge. Flaxseed oil should be used uncooked.

Thanks Tina!

Will look for it the next time I go.

Very useful thread. For chutnies(sweet or pudina) use nirav or deep brands. Recently I bought Laxmi's coriander chutney and regreting for that.
