Flax meal, also known as ground flaxseed, is made by grinding whole flaxseeds into a fine powder. Flax meal is easier to digest than whole flaxseeds and offers more health benefits since it is more readily absorbed by the body. Flax meal is high in dietary fiber, containing both soluble and insoluble types, and is a powerful natural cholesterol controller. It is also a good source of omega-3 essential fatty acids, lignans, and other essential micro and macronutrients. Flax meal can be added to a variety of baked goods, such as bread, pancakes, muffins, bars, cookies, and other recipes for extra nutrition and a nutty flavor. It can also be used as an egg replacer in recipes for muffins, cakes, cookies, and pancakes. Flax meal can be found in stores or ordered online.
