Those days I was in search of gluten free ingredients and tried so many kinds of flours and seeds which I wouldn&#8217;t have tried otherwise. Now, I feel we were disguised so that I could try all those gluten free products as well. Shopping through the gluten free aisle was quite different, I was introduced to so many exotic and completely new ingredients that I haven&#8217;t heard or tried before like quinoa, buckwheat flour and many kinds of soy products. One such product that I bumped into was flax seeds. I had no idea what it was and was quite curious about it. Of course,\u00a0Googling helped&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, flax seeds are not new, people have known about it for centuries and flax are one of the oldest fiber crops in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Flax seeds are considered to be a <strong>superfood<\/strong> due to its high content of <strong>omega-3 fatty acids and fiber<\/strong>. The oil inside the flax seeds is the most important and it&#8217;s called linseed oil. There are so many ways of including flax seeds into your diet:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sprinkle\u00a0flax seeds to your salad, add to smoothies, oatmeal, cookies, pancakes, muffin.<\/li>\n<li>Ground flaxseeds can be used along with flour in baking and making pancakes.<\/li>\n<li>The most important use of flax seeds is that it can be used as an egg replacer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After knowing about the amazing benefits of flax seeds, I did buy a pack of brown flax seeds. I&#8217;ve tried adding it to my smoothies, salads, oatmeal, pancakes, cookies etc. One of my favourite snack bars have flax seeds in it. Here is the recipe for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/sesame-flax-seeds-bars-healthy-snack-gluten-free\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sesame-flax seeds bars<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, I was more keen about replacing eggs with\u00a0flax seeds in my baking.<\/p>\n<p>Flax seeds are powdered and are combined with water, allowed to stand for 15 minutes to thicken. Voila, amazing egg replacer is ready.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s recommended to use fresh flax seeds every time you make this. You could store the flax seeds in the refrigerator, it will last for a year or so.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/category\/recipes\/by-ingredient\/flax-seeds\/\"
