It is not something I have tried but not something I would either not a fan of soy protein based products.
IME flaxseeds aren't easy to integrate into recipes w/o it tasting like poo.
Flaxseeds just have just a heavy taste due to the fat content it just doesn't play well with much else. I used to make pancakes with gluten free sorghum flour and just a bit of finely ground flaxseed in it. Unless I used just a really modest amount it made the pancakes taste vile.
Another problem is that vendors who transport/sell the stuff don't treat it properly. It's more delicate than other vegetable oils, it goes rancid easily and needs to stay refrigerated. I've seen it delivered to stores in unrefrigerated trucks, or you can mail order and it's not coming in a cooler, shit, that stuff is shot before the bottle is even opened. There are plenty of people who have used flaxseed oil and don't know what it should taste like.
If you can actually get good flaxseed oil and use flavors that work with it (strong fruity flavors, strong vinegars) it makes a nice salad dressing.
Excellent point. I've purchased essential fatty acids via mail order in the Summer and had it arrive already rancid due to the sustained heat exposure.
As for flax, it is much more stable I've noticed if you buy whole seeds, such as the Bob's Red Mill brand many supermarket chains carry now.
