What does Flax Seed Taste Like?

[omnimomma]

I have been taking flaxseed oil capsules for years. My doctor recommended that I take flaxseed oil, but I couldn't stand the taste, so I opted for the capsules. I've been reading a lot about flaxseed meal on the board and would like to try some, but I'm really turned off by the taste of the oil. If the meal is bland, I'd be okay. Any suggestions?

I find the meal tastes kinda Nutty it's very good if you ever had Porrige the whole grain stuff it kinda is like that hard to describe it.

I like it but my body doesn't just another thing that causes sever water retention on me. Darn casue there are sooo many wonderful recipes for flax I feel bummed I can't have it.

I mix my flaxseed with tuna, chicken or egg salad and you don't taste.

You can incorporate Flax into foods, it's very healthy for you. Here is a link to 2bigs Mock Danish.

sarahI so understand how you feel food allergies to a major low carb food suck!

BUT you can do the danish without flax seed meal the flax just makes it more bread like in texture. you could use a tablespoon of your PP instead and get the bread like texture.

Flax has it's own stickie so you can see how to use it as an egg oil or flour sub. Not2lates flax meal chips are a great crunch for even inductees.

And nobody can argue how great it is for movement!

OH Barb tell me how it turns out, Maybe I will try it with the Protein Powder I would love to ahve something NEW and exciting I bet it would bea lot like my Protein Pancakes which I love LOL.

Man 2BIG I wanta crunchie food OH to be able to have Flax would be aweosme but, the cramps and fluid retention and iCKS are not worth it same reason why Whet is a BIG no no darn it and I love Bread no wonder I was sooo freakishly sick all the time when I was BIG all these allergies I didn't know about. I also am sensitive to nuts to some extent so I limit the amount I have if I go over 1 handful well my throat gets sore so even Almond flower is something I can't have.

Now if I could use some kind of pumpkin seed or whatnot I would be in heaven no reaction to that one YAY I put those on my salads sooo yummy.

And in my Tuna I love them they are crunchy.

sarah cheese chips work good for crunch oh and if you nuke them to almost done stir them up and nuke till dry you get a shortbread cookie type crunch instead of a chip crunch.

the mock danish without the flax is a bit heavy but most folk eat it that way. any ground seed should work in the danish but their are chemicals in the flax that act as egg whites do so you get cool baking properties for the flax stuff.
