Organic Flax Seed

Organic sorrel brown flax, grown on Jeremy Sundell’s organic farm near Holland Manitoba,  and milled/processed by Adagio Acres.

Whole flax seeds can be ground into flaxmeal to add to oatmeal, baking (like in this crowd favourite “folk fest cookie“), smoothies, or for a nutritional boost to toppings…or just about anything!  For the brave, there’s flaxmilk, or even flax hair products!  Because flax has a high oil content (read: lots of protein!), it is best ground fresh before using, or kept in the freezer after being ground.

Budge over chia seed pudding, make way for flax!

This super simple snack has revolutionized the way that I use flax, which used to be just a few sprinkles here and there.  This pudding makes a fantastic quick breakfast, or a high protein snack for any time of day!

Combine:

1/3 cup ground flax

2/3 cup dairy or dairy alternative

1 tsp honey, maple syrup or sweetener

1/4 tsp vanilla or 1 tsp cocoa powder

Let sit for half an hour, or overnight.

Top with fresh or frozen fruit and enjoy!
