Stinky flaxseed

They're starting go to off. That smell is typical of old or rancid seeds.

Even if you keep stuff in the fridge, make sure the fridge light goes off because anything next to it gets warm if it doesn't.

Usually though, these problems are caused before they are stored away. Usually left too long in a plastic shopping bag on the kitchen worktop in front of a window on a sunny day. Similar mistakes happen in supermarkets.

I made one of those one minute muffins today for the first time for brunch. I fancied a big Man Vs Food style burger loaded with everything.

The muffin contained 1/3 cup of milled flax...it looks amazing, great texture, but stinks of FISH! :***: :hungover:

I don't think they have gone off. Opened the bag just today, best before end Oct 2014. The bag states "Tesco golden linseeds - perfect for coating fish." :rolleyes:

Is this a thing? It this how they smell when cooked?

Flasxseed shoukd be used soar Nguyen. I know your post is years old but someone else might read it. Start off with half a teaspoon in your food twice a day and build up to no more than two teaspoons per day. The measurement you quote is far too much .
