Having read about plant sources for omega-3 fatty acids, a necessary nutrient, I was curious to try flaxseeds. I found a large package (about a pound) for a few dollars at a local store which were described as golden roasted flaxseeds. During our class we tried a few and decided the taste is similar to popcorn. Not noticeably greasy and quite tasty. Flaxseeds are high in omega-3's and another useful nutrient, lignan. You can easily find more about flaxseeds from many sources on the web if you're interested.
This morning I made french toast with a sourdough multigrain bread that already had its own seeds and sprinkled about a half-teaspoon's worth of flaxseed on one side. It added crunch and flavor to an already crunchy experience. Let me know if you've tried flaxseeds or flaxseed oil and what you thought.
