How to treat flaxseeds?
Posted by: Rohanbaby ()

I put flaxseeds every morning in my fruit-smoothie but I am not sure if I am doing it right. I soak them overnight. The next monring they are totally jelly and I try to rinse them even though it is difficult. Then I put them into a blender with fruit. Is that the right way to get rid of the enzyme-inhibitors?
Is it necessary to soak AND rinse flaxseeds and to grind them?

I don't know if I'm correct or not, but I like to just grind them in a coffee grinder. Supposedly that makes them much easier to assimilate.

I'd suggest that you KISS (Keep It Simple Sugar).
Sugar may be substituted with Stupid, depending with whom
you're speaking.
I like to just put the Flax Seeds into my smoothies directly
from the refrigerator....no soaking, rinsing, or grinding.
If you have a high-speed Blender, you shouldn't have a problem.....WY

I used to grind them in a coffee grinder. But I just throw them in the blender now along with my smoothie/fruit salad topping. They are probably better soaked but I don't care enough to do it.

I know what you mean. With a lot of ingredients
in a smoothie, it's difficult to spend a lot of time with
any one. I used to buy Nuts in-the-shell, but cracking
them got to be too much of a chore....WY

I like to put about a 1/2 teaspoon or less of flax seeds into my mouth and chew them throughly using my molars.
