Flaxseed / Linseed

Flaxseeds are tiny wee seeds. They taste a bit like sunflower seeds crossed with olive oil. You can eat them straight up as seeds, add into in mueslis for additional health benefits or even biscuits or home made muesli bars.

Many people grind them and sprinkle them over porridge, but you can make your own porridge from them by grinding and pouring boiling water over them. Let the porridge sit for a couple minutes to absorb the water. You could flavour it, or instead of water try a herbal tea or a cup of broth.
