Flaxseeds

Flaxseeds are the best plant source of Omega-3 fatty acids.

A powerful source of:
fiber, protein, magnesium, iron and potassium, lignans (which are the phytoestrogens).

They have to be ground to be able to absorb the nutrients.

And, yes, my book says you can used them in quick breads or pancakes.

1 - 2 T. a day is all you need.

Thank you! The bread I bought is made from sprouted wheat and has flaxseed in it. It's yummy and only 50 calories a slice!
