Health Benefits
Flaxseed is high in fibre to aid digestion, helps stabilize blood sugar levels and packed with omega 3 fatty acids important for brain development and function. Rich too in B vitamins and magnesium needed for the production of energy and neurotransmitters.

60g (2oz) heaped ½ cup ground flaxseeds
4tbsp honey or agave nectar
1 egg, free range, beaten

1½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda

3.In a bowl, combine the tahini, flaxseeds, honey or agave nectar and beaten egg until creamy and smooth. Sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl. Stir in the tahini mixture and beat well to form a stiff dough. Knead lightly then wrap in cling film and chill for 15 minutes.
4.Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough to about 1cm ½ inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter, stamp out shapes and place on the baking tray.

Organic Ground Flaxseed - Sun 11th May 2008
I started using this product as part of a diet plan. It is fantastic because it is so finely ground and has a slightly nutty flavour. It is fantastic mixed with yoghurt and fruit in the morning for a really sustaining breakfast.

flaxseed - Sat 4th Apr 2009
Started using prewetts ground flaxseed about 3 months ago, to add goodness to my diet and to help with colesterol. My hairdresser commented on the improvement in the condition of my hair and asked if I had changed my hair products. I had to say that it must be down to adding the flaxseed to my diet, my skin is also in good condition too. My hairdresser was so impressed that she going to start using it too!!

easy omega - Mon 10th Jan 2011
This is a very easy way to get your Omega's. Flaxseed is really good for your body, skin, hair... I sprinkle some over my porridge and mix through. I find this easier than taking the oil as you dont even taste it in the porridge.
