🔷 Watch This Next: Lose Fat Fast Running vs Walking - Which Is Better? kzbin.info/www/bejne/faC0kISqZ7d4nbM When you buy Flax Seeds only buy the whole seed or if it is frozen or packed in nitrogen. Flax seeds go rancid quickly, so the flax seeds that are milled or ground without being packed in nitrogen or frozen are rancid. You can grind our own flax seeds in about a minute with a blender.

@@keramiroberts6695 I just saw your message. If you are using the whole seed it is fine, but I wouldn't bake with it because it is a waste. The whole seed just goes through you with no benefits. Heating the ground flax seeds is worse though as it goes rancid very quickly.

This is helpful information. I knew that ground flax and chia can go rancid if stored at room temperature for long periods of time. Oxidative risk occurs after seeds are ground; therefore, I do not purchase ground flax seeds. Heat and light are particularly detrimental. According to many sources, flax and even chia should be freshly ground to maximize the nutritional benefits. I grind a 50/50 blend of whole flax/chia and store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator for no longer a few days. I use two tablespoons in yogurt, keto cereals, smoothies, et al. I store the whole seeds in their original packages inside freezer bags in the freezer. I remove only the amount needed to grind more seeds.

Try golden flax seed. It tastes much better than brown

[@Retro_Rich]

Put the Flax / linseed in a pepper mill and add to your food as and when. Fannying about with freezers and ziplock bags is an unnecessary ball ache. I add Chia and Flax / Linseed to Lentil soup along with pumpkin seeds, Cumin, Cayenne Pepper, Black Pepper, Turmeric, and Smoked Paprika.

Hello Mr Ekberg. Thank you for your knowledge. I heard an read that flaxseed contains a lot of oestrogen and that one should not eat much of it. Is that true? And what about the chia seed? Thank you very much.

[@aerotable]

phyto-estrogen doesn't increase your body estrogen, at least the one in flax seeds. image it similar to dietary vs body fat.

Just made cookes with flax seeds and nuts ,instead suger I used honey,1 egg ,2 spoons olive oil,vanilla drops,cocco nibs.So good

[@hanirashad433]

I add 1 tablespoon of Chia with 1 tablespoon of grounded flax seeds to a glass of milk and drink it in the morning as my breakfast. so good.

Is it hot milk or cold...appreacite your response...thank u..

Sprouting and stone ground eliminates most of the oxidation concerns and enhances bioavailability immensely in a number of ways

I soak chia seeds with almond milk in the refrigerator. Stir it up good first. Later, add spoonfuls of the resulting pudding to whatever you like.

[@Raeoflight-ny9jk]

I use flaxseed powder in my soups, and I add it to my chili. 1 tbsp of flaxseed powder and 2 tbsp of water is equivalent to 1 egg. I also grind chia seeds and add it to my smoothies 😋

[@ghittaeibschutz9513]

Thank you Dr. Ekberg I have been using ground flaxseed and kept it in a glass jar at room temperature! I will buy the seeds from now on and grind them myself . Thank you very much for your great advice!

[@HillbillyYEEHAA]

I make "seed cereal" with both. I put in 2 tbs of whatever seeds I have. Then 1 tbs of chia and 1 tbs of ground flax. I add berries in there. My milk mixture is protien powder and milk. Somtimes I add germ in there. Keeps me full for hours.

I put 3 scoops of chia on my thermo, fill up with water and let it soak for 5 mins but you must shake it so it doesn’t go to the bottom. The chia seeds get bigger and produce a mucus like substance. It really fills you up.

[@Cocobeachhippie]

An easy way to grind up a few spoons of whole flax seeds when needed; use a mortar & pestle 🙂

[@karinpattinson7904]

A coffee grinder is awesome

Flax.. High estrogen.

I'm having some of both in my cereal now...freshly grounded in my coffee grinder. I also sometimes use both foe making hair masks and styling gel.

KZbin suggested this right as I'm snacking on both of these in a nut and seed mix I made👍. The algorithm can be scarily accurate at times. I appreciate the information, and this channel.

I swallow a 1 tablespoon of flaxseed powder with my black lemon water first thing every morning. Is that good or bad Doc?

[@Sophiakosmatos]

I was blind as a bat, I started eating both seeds, and I don’t wear glasses anymore 🤷‍♀️

Je pravda, že chia seeds obsahujú kyseliny, ktoré zabraňujú vstrebaniu vitaminov? Thank you for the answer.

I sprinkle it on my oatmeal, it’s very good.

Hiii, I didn't know that is why we should grind flax fresh and that we can keep it in freezer after grinding. THANK YOU. I add both to salads, cashew yogurt and make yummy treats with carob or chocolate and coconut oil, etc.

I just saw a video on chia seeds from Dr. Gundry. He said that chia seeds aren't as good as we thought. They contain lectin which cause inflammation. He also said that basil seeds are much better
