Flaxseed Meal

[Sassy69]

I also use flax meal in my oatmeal. You can also throw it into your protein mix.

But get this - I give it to my cat in his dry food as well. He had kitty dandruff pretty bad since we moved up north (dry dry dry winter!). Within a day he was amazingly fluffy again and he's all happy again!

GOOD Flax oil should be very light and a bit nutty tasting. Ther's one brand... I can't remember who it was. I think the brand was NOW... anyway, tried it once and it was awful. Bitter and nasty... like earwax or detergent. I thought I got a bad bottle, so I tossed it and got a new one. Same thing. I went and got a different brand and it's fine. Big thumbs up on the Udo's though. Seems to have a much more balanced omega profile.

The advantage to the meal is that you get the fiber too. I just put a Tbsp or two into protein shakes. Thickens them a little, adds a little texture. Mmmmm...

I buy the liquid flaxseed oil at Trader Joe's & I really like the taste. It is a bit nutty & light in color. Inexpensive, too. About $8 for a big bottle!

This is correct. If it tastes bad, it is bad as in oxidized or rancid.

are Flaxseed gel caps as good as the Flaxseed powder?
I've been taking them daily and wanted to make sure I wasn't just wasting $$$.

thanks!
