Notes
Why eat Flax seeds?
Today worldwide there is an awareness for healthy foods and Jawas is considered one of them. The synopsis of what I have read on here.
1. Flax Seeds are nutrient-rich and just 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds (7 grams) gives you just 37 calories plus omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, protein, lignans, some vitamins and minerals.
2. Flax seeds are a good source of protein Omega-3 Fats is an alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) for a vegetarian or a vegan who does not eat fish. ALA is one of the two essential fatty acids that your food should provide as your body does not produce them. ALA in flax seeds prevents cholesterol from being deposited and improves heart health.
3. Ligans may help reduce cancer risk and flax seeds are a good source.
4. Flax seeds are rich in soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre helps slow down digestion and regulate blood sugar and lower cholesterol.
5. People suffering from high blood pressure benefit as flax seeds have the natural ability to lower blood pressure.
6. Is it a small wonder then that flax seeds can keep hunger at bay and aid weight control?
Can I eat flax seeds everyday?
If you are eating 1 or 2 tablespoons every day it is fine but then there are no specific recommendations. However, as always I will say moderation is the key. Too much may mean visits to the loo too often.
How should I eat flax seeds?
1. Flax seeds are best consumed roasted, never raw or unripe as they can be toxic. You can toast them or bake them to destroy those toxins.
2. To get the nutritive benefits of flaxseeds grind them as your body cannot digest the whole seed.
How do I include Flax seeds in my diet?
For how to consume one way is
1. this awesome chutney powder mix with yoghurt or oil and enjoy with your roti or rice as a side dish.

3. Add the roasted and ground powder to sandwiches, mayo, mustard, especially in muffins, cakes, bread baking.
4. Ground flaxseed is an egg replacer 1 egg can be replaced with 1tbsp of flaxseed powder and 3 tablespoon of warm water.
