Flaxseed Flour 450g
R38.00
Flaxseed flour is commonly used to improve digestive health or relieve constipation. Flaxseed may also help lower total blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or “bad”) cholesterol levels, which may help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Most nutrition experts recommend ground over whole flaxseed because the ground form is easier to digest. Whole flaxseed may pass through your intestine undigested, which means you won’t get all the benefits.
Flaxseed Flour health benefits come from the fact that it’s high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as phytochemicals called lignans. One tablespoon (7 grams) of ground flaxseed contains 2 grams of polyunsaturated fatty acids (includes the omega 3s), 2 grams of dietary fiber and 37 calories.
Description
You can buy the ground flaxseeds (yes, yes… the linseeds!) or you can ground them ourselves with a coffee grinder (or Nutribullet/Extraction blade). This will allow the seeds to have a longer shelf life. If the end product is ever bitter, you know your seed has gone rancid.
Ground flaxseeds are used as a magical egg replacement for vegan recipes or those with egg allergies. It gives structure to your baking, just as an egg would. 1 Tablespoon ground flax mixed with 3 Tablespoons water = 1 Egg
If you are looking to increase your fibre intake, or reduce the carb count of your baking you can add a few tablespoons of ground flax seed to most recipes, like bread, flapjacks, muffins, or even meatloaf or casseroles.
