Flax Your Way to Great Health: Get Your Super Seeds at Flax USA

If you've been desperately seeking some magic oil, pill or powder to support your mood, weight, immune system and brain, you can save yourself a whole lot of precious time: spin your shopping cart around, get out of the vitamin aisle and don't look back. There's one super-food that surpasses all the synthetic supplements: flax seeds.

With only 70 calories, 5 grams of fat, and 4 grams of carbohydrate per every 2 tablespoon serving, flax seeds, which also have 3 grams of dietary fiber, will keep you satisfied between meals and may help you maintain a healthy weight.

Flax seeds allows you to reap the benefits of the essential nutrients packed inside these tiny granules, such as the lignans, which help boost the immune system, and alpha linoleic acid (ALA), an essential omega 3 fatty acid, which has not only been known to help beat the blues and boost brain power, but also to prevent different types of cancers, help lower cholesterol and ease menstrual pain. Diabetics will most likely notice a stable pattern in blood sugar, and those who suffer from premenstrual syndrome or menopause can establish a proper hormonal balance.

When it comes to buying your flax seeds, there's none better to send them to you than master flax cultivators John and Stephanie Stober, who have passionately purveyed them since 2001. Their Flax Sprinkles and roasted whole flax seeds were even featured in celebrity gift bags at the 2008 Emmy Awards.

When you order from Flax USA, you receive a pristine product--100% Whole Ground Golden Omega Flax Seed harvested locally as well as in the fields of the Stobers' 1200-acre, five-generation family farm in Goodrich, North Dakota: as close to nature as you can get.

The seeds enter and exit special milling machines at room temperature so their precious oils aren't destroyed, and they're triple-cleaned before they're sent to your door. Their Real Cold Mill flax has a shelf life for 20-plus months without preservatives.

When you open the vacuum-sealed bag, the air begins to smell a bit like almonds toasting in the oven. Their seeds are slightly crunchy, have a nutty bite and a light, buttery flavor--they'd be the perfect complement to yogurt, on pasta, or in salads. You might even want to simply pour them into your palm and nibble on them.

Gluten, trans-fat and preservative-free, the Flax Sprinkles, which look like brown sugar crystals but have a light, grainy consistency (similar to almond or cracker meal), are a great alternative to flour or any other starch. You can use them to substitute breadcrumb when coating chicken or pork, and add them to soups, smoothies, pasta, cookies, muffins, pancakes, breads, etc. You can also substitute Flax Sprinkles for eggs, butter, and oil in any recipe.

Just pour them in; the self-proclaimed health food haters in your family will never know your little secret.

Remember: Flax is not a fad food. It's a fab food. And if you incorporate it into your daily diet, your body and mind will thank you.
