Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 And what, if anything, can I do with this goop? I'm not worried about eating a bunch at once, just want to find some palatable way to use them. Mati, perhaps dehydrate and make those crackers I see around town marketed for raw vegans and other raw-minded folk? B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I know someone who uses it as a binder for raw crackers he makes in his dehydrator. I don't know what all he puts in them, but the ones with chopped rasins in them are pretty good. Flax is pretty sticky as it dries. Don't know how he gets the crackers up once they're dried, come to think of it, so I guess this isn't very helpful.

A few seeds around the rim sprouted - is sprouted flax safe to eat? Because they tasted OK. > And what, if anything, can I do with this goop?

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Sure...there area lots of " raw " cracker recipes you can find. I once made a raw " live " pizza crust with soaked flax, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, and LOTS of raw almonds. It had several other spices but I got it off the web so probably can find something similar. It was then dehydrated. I have seen sweet crackers with banana, almonds and honey added to the flax too.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 The ideal is to eat sprouted flax. Congratulate your daughter. Sprouting it is extremely difficult. Even though the following is a " prepared foods " page, scroll down to the article about the benefit of sprouted flax: http://www.preparedfoods.com/CDA/ArticleInformation/features/BNP__Features__Item\ /0,1231,141696,00.html Here's an excerpt from a nutritionist, Thuna: " Research has confirmed that flax contains all the nutritional requirements to make it an outstanding food, playing an important role in prevention and treatment of many chronic illnesses and diseases. Join Thuna to learn how MegaOmega Sprouted Flax has overcome digestibility problems in order to unleash the maximum nutritional powerhouse laying dormant in flax, surpassing both flax seed and oil. " Just make sure you rinse it really, really well before eating. If you store it in the fridge, like any other sprout, make sure it is dry before storing in a container that will allow good airflow.
