Flax seeds

Here is the picture of flax seeds. These are roasted. They are crunchy. We can eat after meal like Mukhvas or otherwise. These seeds are avaialble in any Chedda store in Mumbai. Flax seeds are rich source of Omega -3 fatty acids. They are high in fiber. They are high in phytochemicals including many antioxidants. Flax seed is high in most of the B vitamins, magnesium, and manganese. One hundred grams of ground flax seed supplies about 450 kilo-calories, 41 grams of fat, 28 grams of fiber, and 20 grams of protein.
One tablespoon of ground flax seeds and three tablespoons of water may serve as a replacement for one egg in baking by binding the other ingredients together. Ground flax seeds can also be mixed in with oatmeal or any other food item where a nutty flavour is appropriate.
So do bring home some flax seeds!

  4. You can buy it from Chedda Store, which is near Santacruz Railway station west side. It is famous store selling all grains. You tell them flax seeds. They know what it means. Otherwise, say Alsi seeds. There are two types. Roasted and regular (not roasted). See, which one you want to buy. I prefer lightly roasted one.
