Flax Seed for Your Family

IMAGE by Cheryl Tallman and Joan Ahlers

Here are few quick tips for adding more flax seed into your family meals.

If you have never purchased flax seed, it is located in the baking section of most supermarkets. It is available as whole seeds or ground. Whole seeds can be ground using a blender or a coffee grinder. It is recommended that flax seed be eaten finely ground for maximum nutritional benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.

1. Pancakes: Add 1/4 cup ground flax seed to your favorite pancake mix, and for extra flavor add 1 tablespoon of vanilla.

2. Pizza: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of ground flax seed on your favorite homemade or frozen pizza. Cook according to normal directions.

3. Breads: Brush dinner rolls with olive oil, sprinkle the rolls with ground flax seed and warm them in the oven.

4. Breading: Add flax seed (1 Tablespoon - 1/4 cup) to your favorite bread crumbs and use this mixture as a coating for tofu, fish, poultry or pork, or as a topping for casseroles, stuffed mushrooms and more.

5. Veggies: Sprinkle ground flax seed on hot vegetables just before serving OR sprinkle ground flax seed on a salad and toss with dressing.

6. Breakfast: Add a teaspoon of ground flax seed to yogurt, oatmeal or granola.

7. Dessert: Sprinkle ground flax seed on vanilla pudding, ice cream or apple crisp.
