Westpoint Organic Meal, Flax, Brown, 5 kg

Description The organic brown flax meal is produced by milling the whole seed into a fine meal. Flax seeds, also known as linseeds, are an excellent source of soluble dietary fibre, complete protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. The use of flax meal as an ingredient in baked products provides a nutty flavour and tender texture. Uses Organic flax meal can be added for extra nutrition to oatmeal, yogurt, salad, soup, chili, meat loaf, muffin, bread, or any other food item where a nutty flavour is appropriate. When altering a baking recipe to contain 20% or more flax meal, the fat should be decreased by the equivalent amount of oil contributed by the flax meal. 1 tablespoon of organic ground flax seeds and 3 tablespoons of water may serve as a replacement for 1 egg in baking by binding the other ingredients together. Storage Flax meal is very rich in oil, Store it in airtight containers, at a cool temperature, away from excessive light and moisture. Storing it in the refrigerator or freezer can extend the shelf life to approximately 6 months. Allergens Attention: May contain shell, pit and seed fragments.
