I got a free sample of ground flaxseed but don't know what to do with it. Can I eat it for breakfast like porridge? If so how do I make it. It has no cooking instructions on the packet. Got it with my gluten free porridge.

Flaxseeds are more commonly known as linseed's, I use golden linseed's in my morning porridge together with pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds (or linseed's :wink: ) are supposedly good for lowering cholesterol :thumbup:
I wouldn't be doing that, flaxseeds can make you have loose bowels so I would start off slowly and gradually increase, I just add a heaped tablespoon in with the oats whilst they simmer away.
As long as flax / linseed, is grounded it is fine to add to anything.
Don't worry to much about loose bowels, as long as you do not go ott (tablespoon is fine).
