Hodgson Mill Milled Flax Seed??

Sweety0107 · 05-19-2011, 04:25 PM

Is this what many of you mean when you say flax meal or flax flour or flax seeds??

Got it at Wal-Mart today. I haven’t opened it yet; just want to make sure it’s right before I do.

Sweety0107 · 05-19-2011, 05:16 PM

Okay... well what are some of the brands you use?

Nigel · 05-19-2011, 06:21 PM

I use that brand. Most of the time I get the ground flax seeds, but you can grind them up in a coffee grinder also.

Sweety0107 · 05-19-2011, 07:19 PM

Thank you so much for your response

... I was starting to feel like no one knew what i was asking

happyheart1 · 05-20-2011, 05:22 AM

I also use that brand. I found it really cheap in the flour section at my Super Walmart. Love those Flax Muffins.

I'm no expert, but that brand seems to be just like the more expensive brands that I have bought at the health food stores. I figured more people would respond to this thread. Don't feel bad, i get ignored all the time on here...we just can't take it personally.

In case no one has welcomed you. Welcome to the forum. There are lots of good ideas and recipes on here.

I honestly can't rememer what brand of seeds I buy. But I always buy the seeds and grind them into meal on my own.

Sweety0107 · 05-20-2011, 04:44 PM

Thanks forum friends... this WOE is difficult, with no support.
Im thankful I found a site like this.
I just cant wait to try some of the recipes with this.

However, I prefer the Golden flax seed meal because it has a milder taste. Bob's Red Mill and netrition carry it and also local health food stores.

Sweety0107 · 05-21-2011, 05:28 PM

how about rancidity...
How long will it last? What methods have you found that work best in keeping it fresh??

lisabinil · 05-21-2011, 05:42 PM

Keep it in the fridge or freezer.

Mobear · 05-21-2011, 06:27 PM

I use Bob's Red Mill Golden Flax, never tried the brand you have. I always keep mine in the freezer. It doesn't actually freeze so you don't have to worry about thawing it out to use it. I've never had it go rancid.

I also prefer golden flax meal. There is a huge difference in the final outcome.
