Flaxseed Meal

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Refrigeration or freezing significantly extends freshness due to the oil content.

Use as an egg substitute in vegan baking: 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes until gelled.

Add to oatmeal, yogurt, or pancake batter for extra fiber and omega-3s.

Mix into smoothies for a thicker texture and nutritional upgrade.

Can be used to thicken sauces or soups.

Using whole flaxseeds instead of meal: Whole seeds pass through the digestive system largely undigested, meaning you won't get the nutritional benefits.

Not storing properly: The oils in flaxseed meal can go rancid quickly if exposed to heat and light.
