Hi all,

I am adding more seeds to my diet. Last week, I purchased organic flax seeds.
Can I blender flax seeds with other greens? any other methods to eat more flax seeds?

Thank you.

Using a blender is the best way to eat Flax seeds. You just can't
chew them properly in Salads.
If using a blender, break then up in a little water first, then add the
other ingredients......WY

I have found that a coffee grinder is the only way to grind flax seeds.
A blender just has them spinning around.Food processor too.
Never tried it with a little water though.

A substance which interferes with the thyroids uptake of iodine, thus can suppress thyroid function.

They aren't an issue with flax seeds as long as you do two things: 1) take sufficient iodine, and 2) have no more than 3 of 4 tablespoons of flax seed per day (that's a lot!).
