P.S. I’m still unclear as to whether the entire kernel of flax must be eaten or not (Haven’t finished the article), but warehouse stores sell flax oil (in capsules) at a very low cost, and it doesn’t have cod liver oil gaseous anomaly (insofar as I have found).
The seeds are very hard for the body to digest. You can buy the seeds and grind them yourself in a coffee grinder or purchase the flax meal (already ground). I’ve tried the oil but didn’t like it.
When using the meal, start with small amounts in your food. Too much can change the texture and make things slimy or rubbery.
Couple of examples. If I’m making something (soup, stew, casserole) and its going to take up most of a 6 qt Dutch Oven then I usually add 1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons, a meatloaf using 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef I might add 1 tsp, cookie dough for around 3 dozen cookies - 1 tsp.
You can certainly add more, I just don’t want family members turned off by its addition because then they won’t eat it and get no benefit, while keeping the amount lower, you can’t tell its there so nobody is saying it tastes funny.
