Golden Valley Flax See Review

 

Today, I get to make some delicious, healthy meals, from breakfast to dessert, with flax. The company that sent over the products is, Golden Valley Flax, located in North Dakota.

The history and beginning of the company starts all the way back to 1865 on the, Hylden farm. It's a great story to read on their website. Today the heritage of, Golden Valley Flax is preserved by Mark and Ester Hylden.

They Hylden farm is comment to growing only top notch quality flax, and has since the beginning. They work hard, and their products show that. They have won many ribbons, and trophies for their hard work.

Flax is full of good stuff for our body. And you can cook with it, and make drinks with it as well. And know that every bite or sip you take you are getting a tone of nutrional values. Flax will help you maintain a proper balance of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids in your diet. It does a body good! Golden Valley Flax, gives you a wealth of information and teaching's all about flax.

These are the six reasons we all should include flax in our daily life style:

Flax is an excellent source of fiber. One tablespoon of flax has 8 grams of fiber. Fiber aids in the prevention of constipation and colon cancer. Flax is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids from a plant. A diet enriched in omega-3 fatty acids lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke. Flax is a natural anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering substance. Lignans are found in flax. Lignans may assist to lower cancer risk. Flax has a lot of protein. 3 tbsp (1 ounce) flax has 6g of protein. Flax aids with weight reduction. Flax is a low-calorie meal that is strong in fiber, which helps us feel full. When we add flax in our regular diet, we feel fuller for longer. Flax contains a lot of vitamins and minerals. Flax includes a high concentration of B vitamins, as well as potassium, magnesium, manganese, and calcium.

Flax is great for any type of diet you are on, and also will help in the management of weight loss.

 

Let me now tell you about my healthy day of cooking with flax.

First up was a yummy blueberry flax seed smoothie, blended with Golden Valley Flax see, topped with fresh garden blueberries, and a lemon slice. It was delicious and filled me up fast, and held me over until lunch. A smoothie with flax seed, is great for any time of the day. It makes not only a great breakfast drink, but as a end of the evening drink as well. If your hungry between meals, a yummy smoothie with flax seed included will hold you over.

Lunch was fun, and turkey pot pies was what I made, using Golden Valley ground flax. In cold weather or warm weather, I love pot pies! They on their own are a great comfort food, and will fill you up. Add some ground flax seed in, and you get a healthier version, and full even more. The ground flax from Golden Valley Flax, is so easy to add to any recipe.

For dinner, I added some Golden Valley ground flax to my meat loaf. Instead of breadcrumbs, the ground flax was a more healthier option, and worked fantastic as a binder for the meatloaf mixture. The ground flax seed lent a nice mild nutty flavor to my meat loaf. And pumped up the nutrional value of my meal. Every bite, gave my family omega's, fiber, and so much more.

Flax in any recipe is a great thickener and a wonderful replacement for gluten containing grains. And you would be very surprised to know that you can even replace a egg substitute with ground flax. From smoothies to granola bars, you can incorporate flax.

To end the evening, I made some cranberry flax seed cookies. And they were delicious. The whole family got to enjoy a quilt free dessert, that was healthy to eat.
