Seeds query

[Outlier]

I have recently added pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds to my lunchtime yoghurt, and plan to add chia seeds when I can get some. What is the verdict on linseeds and do they need soaking like chia seeds do. Any others recommended.

I usually use the pre-ground one's in yoghurt - they don't need to be soaked, not sure about whole ones though. Lidl do a couple of mixes in their Alesto range milled linseed, sunflower & pumpkin seeds. They're also good for making LC crackers

We dry and then roast our pumpkin seeds @Outlier .
We first dry them in the air drier , then we add a little olive oil and some salt and bake them in the oven for 20 mins.

Oils have a distinct taste so if you like the taste of linseed then great. I don’t because I used to paint in oil colours, linseed oil and turpentine would be two products I added to my oil colours do I always have that association.

I add ground linseed, along with sesame seeds, sunflower seed, pumpkin seed to my salads. Linseed are the same thing as flaxseed.

Thank you all for your replies. I used to paint in oils quite a lot, so I get the reference.

I add linseed seeds to my salads but have had to rein my pumpkin seeds in as I had an allergic reaction to them!
