- Directions
- Baking tips: Ground flaxseed can be substituted for shortening or cooking oils at a ratio of 3 to 1 in baked goods. For example 1-1/2 cups of ground flaxseed can replace 1/2 cup butter, margarine or cooking oils in a recipe. Baked goods tend to brown more rapidly when substituting flaxseed meal for cooking oil.
- Flaxseed Meal may be sprinkled on cereal or yogurt; mixed with juice, sport or diet drinks or baked in your favorite breads. Suggested use: Mix two (2) tablespoons with food or drink for maximum daily results, or as directed by a medical practitioner.
