CanMar’s Roasted Flax For Nutrition comes in a vacuum packed package. Left unopened and stored in a clean, dry place at room temperature the roasted flax will last one year. Once the vacuum seal is broken we recommend keeping the resealable package in a refrigerator and to consume the roasted flax within a 3-month period.

CanMar’s Roasted Flax For Nutrition does not have to be ground; it is very easy to chew and breaks up in a person’s mouth. However, it can be used in a ground form if one so chooses. Unroasted flax usually is ground before consumption in order to obtain maximum health benefits. Unroasted whole flax seed is difficult to crack even with careful chewing. If unroasted whole flax seeds are not broken up in the mouth them the seeds will simply pass through the body partially digested. This is why ground or milled flax seed found in package form is widely popular. Our roasted flax is extremely convenient – it is ready to eat! You have the option of grinding the roasted flax or not!

Yes! Unlike flax oil, CanMar's roasted flax seeds can be used in baking cookies, loafs, casseroles and more. The flax seeds have a protective outer coating that will prevent the oil from turning rancid.

For eggs: Substitute ground Roasted Flax For Nutrition and water mixture for eggs in recipes such as pancakes, muffins and cookies. Mix 1 tbsp ground flax plus 3 tbsp water for every egg being substituted - let sit for several minutes then add to your recipe. For fat: Substitute Flax For Nutrition for fat in your recipes using 3 tbsp ground flaxseed for each 1 tbsp of margarine, butter or cooking oil. Flax For Nutrition can be substituted for all or some of the fat, depending on the recipe. If you substitute all of the fat in the recipe with flax, you will need to increase your liquid by 75% of the amount of ground flax you are adding because the flaxseed will absorb moisture. Baking with CanMar's Flax For Nutrition as a fat substitute will cause baked goods to brown more quickly.
