flax is a great food. it is the highest source of Omega3s out there. it needs to be ground as flax meal fo getting the nutrients out. We have a stickie on flax and you can type flax in the recipe data base and get lots of wonderful recipes notall induction legal.
Sinvce you are adding it for constipation go slow and see what a table spoon does for you increase the amount tomorrow if no relief comes until you find the amount you need as it is different for all. you can make a hot cereal out of it you can make not2lates induction cookie or crakers, you can add it to the mock danish in the eggs and cream cheese mix for a more bread like texture you can make Book's flax bread just to name a few ways to eat it. After you clear your constipation since you did get constipated you can have it regularly as a part of your added fiber for regularity.by the book atkinseer

Is there anything I can do with milled flax seed? I picke it up when I saw it, but I don't think it's what everyone is talking about. So, its just collecting dust in the cabinet!Comment

Kay - that is what people are using :yes
There are many recipes in the recipes database (link at the top of the page) just do a search for flax and see which you like the sound of!
You will need to check the list of ingredients and may have to substitute some ingredients for induction-legal ones.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

Would it be good, mixed with crushed port rinds, to substitute bread crumbs??? Or does it have a bitter taste???Mini Goal -- 150 by May 1st

I often use it to coat meat just on its own and it does have a slight taste but a pleasant one. you could mix it with pork rinds I am sure.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

I find when I mix mine with pork rinds, it gives the coating a little bit of a chewy texture. Not bad, just different.Female/45/5'5

flax only has omega 3's, not omega 6's. I think it is better to get an oil blend that contains both.
