Blo

[Bob Swenson]

A lot of us use BLO in wood finishing but I also have it for breakfast.
Not the boiled form, the cold pressed organic type that is known as
Flax oil. This stuff will put a great finish on your skin. put a bounce
in your step and lead in your pencil. It's loaded with Omega 3.
It's about the best thing you can do for yourself.

I dump about a teaspoon of Bob's Red Mill Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal in my oatmeal every morning. Good source of protein, fiber, lignans, and the Omega-3 fats as you describe. Good stuff, good flavor.

I recently made a batch of brownies where I used the Flaxseed Meal to replace vegetable oil. They came out, uh, interesting tasting but I think the flavor is growing on me. :)

Could you just partially replace the veggie oil and still get the benefit without the off taste? Actually, do any of those benefits you mentioned bake away anyhow?

I think you could. The bag claims:

Ground Flaxseed can be substituted for shortening or cooking oil at a ratio of 3 to 1 in baked goods. For example, 1 1/2 cups of ground flaxseed can replace 1/2 cup of butter, margarine or cooking oil in a recipe.

I did that in my brownies and since the flaxseed is kind of dry (but oily), it really gave my forearms a workout mixing it all in. It also definately adds a nutty-like flavor that isn't too bad. I think next time I would only replace half of the oil in the recipe and not all of it.

I kinda doubt the "goodness" would bake away but I'm no expert in regards to this....

Better be careful there big guy. Our 1100 lb thoroughbred gets flaxseed daily.
Too much, and he gets too hot to handle.:eek:,:D,;)


It is good stuff Bob

Buy fresh refrigerated Oil in a health food store and keep it cold.
If the oil develops a strong taste put a spot of dryer in it and use it
For wood finishing
I have never cooked with it, I’m not sure it keeps its health properties.
I put a tablespoon of oil on my two jumbo eggs for breakfast. The oil soaks
Into the yolk. I know your Doctor told you not to eat eggs. The Doctors
That told me that are all dead. I have been eating eggs everyday for years and at 83 I am doing fine. One of my VA doctors told me not to be afraid of making long-term investments. He thought I had Money.
While I am on this health kick let me remind you guys and gals to take vitamin D.
I was taking 1000 units a day until my other VA Doc said I needed more.
It takes away winter time blues, makes your bones strong and disappears
mysterious aches and pains.
Gotta go wax my skis. Get out there a look for blond thoroughbreds.:)

Have you ever wondered why guys know more about sports than their own bodies?
