Golden flax seed powder is light brown in colour and has a fairly natural smell. It is naturally gluten free and is full of essential fibre which provides bulk to your digestive system. Flaxseed powder comprises approximately 28% total deitary fibre by weight, including both soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre can help lower blood cholesterol levels and help moderate blood sugar, while insoluble fibre moves the stool through the colon more quickly, helping bowel movements and improving laxation.
Flaxseed is a source of the Omega 3 fatty acid called alpha-linolenic acid. It is the most abundant dietary source of this essential fatty acid. In addition, falxseed contains prtein, several B vitamins and is very rich in the minerals thiamine, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. Flaxseed contains about 20% protein and has an amino acid profile similar to that of soybean protein which is considered to be one of the most nutritious of the plant proteins.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of flaxseed powder to whole grain porridges or sprinkle on salads and on rolls, muffins, bagels and breads prior to baking to give a pleasing appearance and added crunch. Flaxseed powder can also be used as flour replacements and folded into bread doughs before baking. It can also be used as egg replacer in baking by adding some water to obtain the egg yoke consistency.
