Add omega-3 to your food

By Carolin 

Boost your food with flax seeds
Flax seeds work very well in many types of food both in cooking and baking. Flax seeds give a nutty flavor to the food.

Cook with flax seeds:

Adding flax seed oil to your stew or casserole is a very easy way to increase the amount of omega 3. Flax oil should not be heated over 140 F or 60 C so add the oil after you have removed the pot from the stove.

Add omega-3 and fibers to your breakfast by sprinkling ground flax seeds over your yogurt or cereal. If you eat cooked cereal then add the seeds after you have removed the pan from the stove.

Sprinkle ground flax seeds to salads or omelets.

Make a healthy bread spread with flax seed oil.

Flax seed sprouts have a spicy flavor. Read more about .

Bake with flax seeds: (when baking the oven is hot but inside the bread or muffin it is much cooler this is why the oil is not damaged during baking)

Ground flax seeds can be used in any bread. Simply replace 10-15% of the flour with ground flax seeds. This will not only make your bread healthier it also gives it a great taste.

Ground flax seed is a great to replace egg. It can be used in most baking such as muffins, pancakes, cookies and cakes.
1 tbsp ground flax seeds + 1 tbsp water = 1 egg
