Did you know that flaxseed gets you moving? Ground flaxseed is full of fibers called lignans that contain both soluble and insoluble fiber to keep you regular. You only need to sprinkle a couple of tablespoons on your cereal to get your daily dose. Remember to grind the flaxseeds though, as your body cannot digest and process the whole seeds.
Also storing flaxseeds is important as they will easily become rancid after you grind them. I buy a tub of whole seeds, grind them in a coffee grinder then store them in the freezer. That way you can use them straight away, I sprinkle some on my oatmeal every morning and use it all the time in baking, especially in banana bread.
