Flax Seeds are a popular ingredient traditionally used in baking. They have become popular due to their high fibre content and as a source of omega-3.
Flax seeds can be sprinkled into many recipes including smoothies, over breakfast cereals, mixed into breads or simply eaten on their own for dietary reasons.
Ground flax seeds have the same nutritional content as whole flax seeds, but some people find the ground flax seeds easier to digest, and therefore get more benefit from them.
Sprouted Flax Seeds have been grown for a short while (typically 1-2 days) before being milled. Sprouted flax seeds are very easy to digest, and have quite a different nutritional content from regular flax seeds. You can sprout your own whole flax seeds by buying the whole flax seeds and soaking in water for 1-2 days.
