Did you know that Linseed Oil is gluten-free, wheat-free, sugar-free, nut-free, low carb and contains rich Omega 3? A small developer in the UK, Flax Farm, has been successfully pressing and grounding Linseed Oil for a number of years. The final result is a very fine powdery substance, which, for a daily happy tummy, can be spread on breakfast cereals, spread on mashed bananas, yogurts or fresh fruit and as it is finely ground it’s very nutritious and is therefore a versatile food ingredient.
In the United Kingdom, Flax Farm now produces this linseed flour and from it they make famous Flaxjacks and they now offer many varied recipes using this ground Linseed. It is such a wonderful food for health and it tastes nice! The pressed linseed oil and the freshly ground linseed meal, are delicious foods on their own and add succulence and a delicate flour enhancing richness to many foods.
The Flaz linseed oil, is sweet, mild and buttery tasting and like all unsaturated nut and seed oils it should not be cooked at a very high temperature, as this would destroy the oil’s most important properties, but it can be added to all foods that have some moisture in them. The fresh taste of this oil make it great for vinaigrette’s and gives home made smoothies an irresistibly creamy texture.
It can be added to bread instead of lard or olive oil and gives the bread a subtle buttery flavor, it adds Omega 3, instead of cholesterol. Use it instead of butter or margarine in scones, cakes, biscuits and muffins. You can stir it into dishes at the end of their cooking time, to give them a healthy boost. It tastes especially good on carrots, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, or on baked, boiled or mashed potatoes. It’s really great on Porridge, instead of cream.
