flax seed?

Body: 

i have been lookig for flax seeds and in dublin can only find linseed in the shops, just wondered is it the same thing? want to make sure before i get it...

You can get Flaxseed from health food shops. I bought a bag of ground flax seed for about £9.99 from GNC but you will probably find it in Holland and Barrett as well. Alternatively you can order it online by doing a search for ground flaxseed.

I take flax seed oil capsules but you can add ground flax seed to food just by sprinkling it over the top or adding it into a mixture.

I think you will find that linseed and flaxseed are two completely different things.

Hope that helps.

... an online shop that sells the ground flaxseed at £8.94 per bag but also has a number of receipes for using it. I might try the oatmeal and flax pancakes on the kids.

www.flaxseedshop.com

They also sell the whole flaxseed which is the way Christine recommends it. You ground it up as you need it.

Send me a pancake ;-)

i thought that they were different and the lady on phone said they were the same i asked was she sure, just that i didnt want to buy the wrong thing and she said "of course im sure im looking at the box"!!! i just said ok and hung up i didnt know whether to feel a little silly or annoyed!!!
just found it online in the health store in my local shopping centre so will just go there, thanks

if you have one.

I bought some ground flax seed..but it gives me an upset stomach...anyone else with this problem? Marilu

High in oil content... the good kind. But it is better to grind
it freshly yourself as the shelf-life is quite short once it's been ground,
and would be best stored in the freezer. The upset stomach may have
been from rancidity. Which occurs if you are purchasing from a business
that only has token Health-food items, as it can often sit for long periods
on the store shelf.

P.s. - Linseed is def. NOT the same.
