How do you eat flax seeds?

Flax seeds can be consumed in a variety of creative ways. For instance, ground flax seeds can be incorporated into baked goods, such as muffins, cookies and sweet breads. They can also be added to other classic oven-baked foods like pizza and casseroles.

Flax seeds are a powerful antioxidant, which means they prevent or delay cell damage. Research studies have shown that they are considerably higher in antioxidants than certain fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries and olives. The dietary benefits of flax seeds are associated with decreased insulin resistance, the prevention of certain cardiovascular diseases and the improvement of metabolic syndrome.
