  • Hi old girl

    I use linseed (flaxseed) in the multiseeded bread I bake. I have no idea if it is any good for health other than as a laxative but it gives a nice flavour to the bread. I also don't know whether your body can utilise it in whole seed form. Linseed oil can be an irritant so I would advise you only include a small amount in your diet. The cheapest place I've found it is from Amazon. Kim
