Good to Know
Buy ground flax already milled (Bob's Red Mill and Spectrum both sell it) or grind whole seeds yourself in a coffee grinder, since the whole form passes through largely undigested. Of the 4.1g total carbs in 2 tablespoons, 3.8g is fiber, which is why the net count lands so low, and that same fiber makes ground flax a handy egg replacer when you mix 1 tablespoon with 3 tablespoons water. Store it in the fridge or freezer because the fat (5.9g per serving) goes rancid fast at room temperature, and skip pre-sweetened flax blends that toss in sugar or fruit bits.
