Heating flax seed: a good idea?
Monday, March 1st, 2010It truly is a frequently asked question when folks like to start consuming flax seed. It really is known that flax has a shortish shelf lifetime if in its flax seed meal variety & you have to buy it and use it up reasonably quickly before it should go rancid however what happens if flax is heated? Does it go rancid & the oils then become a chemical that will fail to have any positive effect over our bodies? Well via what I have read over time, there does exist some conflicting evidence yet on balance it seems the essential fatty acids & the lignans found in flax seed continue to be biologically useful to us should they have been heated at temperatures needed to bake breads & muffins for example.
