Spectrum Organic Ground Flaxseed, 14 Oz

This is a repeat buy for me. I find this brand by Spectrum essential is a very good one. It is organic which is what I am looking for. I take this mainly for constipation but also for the omega 3's in plant form.When using this flax seed I find I stay regular. If you are having trouble with constipation this is a very good and natural way to remedy it. I add it to any food I am eating cooked or raw. I add it to salads and into smoothies as well. Two tablespoons a day is the amount that I use.You can also add this to pastry recipes before baking like cakes, cookies, muffins, breads, you name it. It will also replace eggs in a recipe. You can google 'flaxseed, egg replacement' to find the correct ratio for your recipe or use mine. For each egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed (measure after grinding) with 3 tablespoons of water. Stir well, and place in the fridge to set for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the result should be a sticky egg-like substitute and it's ready to go!If you are in the market for a quality flaxseed that is organic you cannot beat this one form Spectrum Essentials. I have used to for a long time with great results health wise and in baking recipes.

I buy another bag every time the one I have get empty.

I purchased this because it was an ingredient in a recipe for no bake lactation cookies I was making. The ground flaxseed is fine enough that it works perfectly in a "no bake" recipe. The nutty bit of flavoring from the flaxseed adds a bit of a nutty taste to the cookies, and the end result of the recipe is perfect.Not to mention, flaxseed also helps with lactation. I pulled this from an online article basically discussing super foods for a nursing mother - "Flaxseed contains phytoestrogens, a plant-based compound that can mildly mimic estrogen. Phytoestrogens are believed to have potential in helping to protect against a variety of health disorders. In addition to flaxseed's lactogenic properties, they are great source of fiber, another important need for nursing mothers."Along with the flaxseed, the recipe I used for the lactation cookies calls for brewer's yeast and oatmeal, which are also super foods for a nursing mother. Since starting to eat the cookies I made 2-3 days ago, I've noticed an increase in my milk supply. My baby seems to get full faster and I can hear her swallowing more often than she used to. This leads me to believe she's get more instant streams of breast milk rather than a few drops here and there.

Short ReviewPros-High Quality = Peace of Mind-Tastes very good and adds a little something to my shakes-Good quantity as well should last me through the month- Blends easily into my shake- Gets the job done-The price was competitive with other brands so no gripes thereCons- Such a great product I have a hard time thinking of a con to be completely honest, I simply have not had any complaints.This ground flax is definitely deserving of the 5 star rating without a doubt. I will grab another when I run through this one and I would definitely recommend this product. Flax Seeds provide an array of health benefits including aid in digestion and is fiber rich, if you are looking into Flax seeds and browsing around just get this product.

I add this to smoothies and baked goods. It was recommended by a nurse for my son's constipation. It works and also adds vitamins, minerals and omega-3s to your diet. Adds a nutty taste and texture to cookies, muffins and even apple crisp. I prefer to use it in smoothies in order to retain all the nutrients. The only con is that I had to transfer the contents to another container as the resealable bag was defective. I just happened to get the one bag that did this, I'm sure. I will re-order this product as I like it very much and is an easy way to add fiber to the diet..
