Health Benefits of Flaxseeds in Your Daily Diet

If you're looking for flaxseed recipes for cookies, bread and other tasty dishes, you've come to the right place. Scroll down for some delicious flaxseed bread recipe ideas. Flaxseeds are also gluten free so if you are creating gluten free recipes, flax is a terrific addition to your diet.

Before you dive into creating special recipes, however, consider foods you already eat. Add a scoop of ground flaxseed to your morning smoothie, your cereal or yogurt or any recipe for baked items like bread, cake, cookies, rice dishes or just about anything else. Keep your ground flaxseed handy for adding to any recipe.

Why eat ground flaxseed instead of whole flaxseeds? You get much more nutritional benefit from the ground flax instead of the small hard flaxseeds. Grind them in a coffee grinder or make your recipe in a food processor, like a Vitamix, and the grinding is done for you. You can also purchase bags of ground flaxseed as well.

Ground flax meal keeps for about 90 days when refrigerated. You can also freeze it and use as needed, right from the freezer. Or you can grind flax seeds as you use them.
