what can I use instead of ground flax seeds
993768
The whole idea behind using flaxseed meal is for the health benefits of the flaxseed.

It does a good job on everything I've tried, but I haven't tried flaxseeds. It grinds fine as dust or coarse for pepper.Small and doesn't take a big space for storage. Sorry about not having your answer.

Yes, it is indeed ground flax seed, ready to eat. 'Whole Ground' in the picture is relatively in small letters. By the way, it is also the best flax seed I enjoy everyday in my Oat meal or cereal.

No, Flax seeds are to fine and would slip through the tines without being ground.

Haven't tried it but I would guess flax seeds are too oily to be ground in this unit.

I think you can just make your own, by filling a tube sock with flax seeds, corn, buckwheat hulls, rice, or oatmeal. See this blog: www.chronicbabe.com/articles/12/

I did not have any luck with almond, flax nor soy milk. There are new starters that work with almond & soy. Sorry I don't remember the brand. I'm sure you can Google it.

I have no idea, but since this works for me, . . . I suggest you compare the process of Bob's Red Mill Organic Flaxseed... with the previous one you bought. Sorry

Mine is flax or buckwheat and herbs. It's a light relaxing herbal blend, not over-powering.

hi i looked up on their website and the flax seeds are certified organic and non-gmo. i have used this brand for years and i find it to be the best available. a little bit more expensive than other brands, but, well worth it.

I called the company and they said; "No, these seeds are not to be ground! As you might know this is an affective fiber source and antioxidants as well. Add some seeds to a bit of warm water, in a glass, and let stand 15 minutes. What you'll then see is like a gelatin. A gelatin fiber substance will form around each seed. That said; one might want to separate consumption of Chia Seeds along with prescription medications and possibly supplements and herbs as well; as they would likely bind. You don't want to mix-in/ expose the seeds to High Heat cooking, etc,, as this will destroy the nutritional properties. Say you cook oats; then sprinkle some seeds on-top of the oats once you have placed the oats in your bowl. I personally cannot take the recommended tablespoon serving as these seeds are a highly effective fiber source, for me; I use just a small sprinkle once or twice weekly. btw/ this product is priced good [for organic] on Amazon. I intend to call the company again to ask if this is a GMO free product, but I doubt it.

Go to the Bob's Red Mill website and search for "organic ground flax seed". Expand the label on the side of the package. It says that flax seed contains approximately 50% Alpha-linolenic acid (Omega-3's). A serving of 2 T contains 2400 mg of Omega-3's. Milled flax seed is flax seed with the husk removed, but the remaining seed is whole. Ground flax seed is the entire flax seed ground to a coarse meal. Meal is coarser than flour. I do not think that flax seed could ever be ground into flour. I think that it would turn into an oily mixture like peanuts ground into peanut butter. If you ever try to make almond meal or almond flour in a food processor and process the almonds too long, you can end up with almond butter. So if you are baking, you probably want flax seed meal. Whole flax seeds are covered with insoluble fiber which protects the soluble fiber inside the seed. Whole flax seeds usually absorb water and act as fiber and pass through the body whole. In the digestive tract, all the nutrients of the flax seed are not absorbed by the body. This insoluble fiber also feeds healthy bacteria in the digestive system. So whole flax seeds are probably not as useful to the body as ground flax seeds. When flax seeds are ground, both insoluble and soluble fiber are available to the body. Soluble fiber slows down digestion and helps to make you feel full.

Grinding or roasting flax breaks this seed coat making all the nutrients easy to digest. So you can do ether one but I prefer them ground because I add them to cereal and my most of my recipes.

Do NOT put water in the microwave. Getting flax seed wet will cause it to clump up like a brick and you will lose the slippery characteristic of the seeds which allow it to mold to the shape of the shoulders. Flax seeds naturally release moisture when heated, so after heating you will enjoy moist heat. Do not wet, wash, or dry clean.

I haven't tried. I am not sure but it might be worth a try. Many people use a coffee grinder for flaxseed (keep an extra for this unless you REALLY like coffee.)

Yes - I use it exclusively for grinding flax seed. In fact, I find that this unit grinds the flax seeds into a finer powder than the "pre-ground" flax seed that you can buy at the store.

I use oiled sunflower seed and it works great. For just plain millet - it might roll out, as the openings are fairly large and the seeds are pretty small. It should work for commercial mixed seed. It wouldn't work for nyjer (thistle)seed, as they are way too fine.
