Flaxseed meal is made from ground flaxseeds, which are small, brown or golden seeds rich in nutrients. It is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein, making it a popular addition to various diets. Flaxseed meal can be used in baking, smoothies, or as a topping for cereals and yogurt. In addition to its nutritional benefits, flaxseed meal is often used as a natural thickening agent in recipes. It can also serve as a substitute for eggs in vegan cooking, as it forms a gel-like consistency when mixed with water.
