With all the trendy seeds and grains in supermarkets these days, you may have forgotten about that no-frills workhorse flax. In addition to providing a major boost to you digestive tract, it's a great source of anti-inflammatory omega-3s.
Plus, ground flax can be used as an egg substitute in yeast breads, cookies, pancakes, waffles and muffins. Start by replacing just one egg in a recipe by blending 2 tbsp whole flax meal with 3 tbsp cold water. Let rest for 10 minutes to thicken before adding to batter.
