Lenny3 Well-Known Member Messages 1,008 Location Norfolk Type of diabetes Treatment type Tablets (oral) Dislikes not much Sep 26, 2012 #1 Hi, Ive got a couple of recipes I wanted to try out but just have a couple of questions. I believe Linseed and Flaxseed are the same thing is this true? I can get golden Linseed or Wholefood brown Linseed, is there any real difference? I was going to try some of the low carb breads that Whitby Jet has put on the recipe list. Thanks in advance.

I believe you must have the seeds grounded on a coffee grinder or some kind of grinder, prior to adding to foods. However it is well worth it. Also Chia seeds are even better and you do not need to grind them, Chia seeds also last longer. Roy.

izzzi Well-Known Member Messages 4,207 Location northants Type of diabetes Treatment type Diet only Sep 29, 2012 #4 Hi Deb, I don't think Chia seeds have a taste. neutral probably. They are either black or white seeds, I get mine from Amazon,about £16.00p a 1kg bag (free postage) make sure you give your colour preference. Some prefer white when adding to cakes etc; both colours are the same quality. There are quite weird when you put them in water, turn a bit like tomato seeds. There are a few tips on this forum, look at superfoods and chia seeds. This Webb may also help . http://www.chiaseedrecipes.com/40-ways- ... -seeds.php Good luck Roy.
