Re: flaxseeds as a replacement for eggs in baking

Hi Suzanne,

Do you know how much nutritious value do flaxseeds keep after the cooking process?

Indeed they are a good egg replacement and I often use them, but I wonder.

flaxseeds as a replacement for eggs in baking

Using flaxseeds in place of eggs is a great vegan trick for baking, but you don't have to be vegan to benefit from this great substitution. Flaxseeds are a nutritional powerhouse and sneaking some into baked goods is an easy way to get some of their wonderful nutrients into your diet. Read on for an easy tip on how to substitute flaxseeds for eggs. Flaxseeds are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty acid that appears to be beneficial for heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and a variety of other health conditions. They also contains a group of chemicals called lignans that may play a role in the prevention of cancer.

SIMPLE SOLUTION: With all of this goodness, it seems like a great idea to get flaxseeds into one's diet in any way possible. One great way is to use flaxseeds in place of eggs in baked goods. To replace one egg:1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds3 tablespoons water (or other liquid) Stir together until thick and gelatinous. You can also use whole flaxseeds:1 tablespoon whole flaxseeds4 tablespoons water (or other liquid) Process seeds in a blender to a fine meal, add liquid and blend well. You can make a bigger batch by increasing the ingredient amounts. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

obviously not as much as in raw form... but a better substitute for the egg - especially if it is store bought... and as often I say, many times my posts are to accomodate a large variety of people on this list.. some are totally raw, some partial, some not but totally organic,e tc... I try to post things for all of different folk out there...no matter where they are on their path to better health.
