Review by Jennifer Levitan

As a vegan mother of two growing boys, I am always making sure their nutritional needs are being met. This is why I love flax seeds! They are easy to incorporate into baked goods, and taste delicious sprinkled onto cereal and soy yogurt. Flax seeds are the richest plant based source of Omega 3 fatty acids—in fact, two tablespoons of milled flax has 2,700mgs of Omega-3s, 4 grams of fiber, and 3 grams of protein. Ground flax seeds are the best easily absorbed source of omega-3s. Just add a 1/4 cup to any baked recipe, or use them as an egg replacer in a non-vegan recipe.

Flax USA is a fifth generation flax farming family. They make ground flax, whole flax seeds, flax "Sprinkles" (ground flax in a shaker top perfect for sprinkling on cereal or into sauces), concentrated flax lignans and roasted flax seed snacks. They make getting your flax in easy!

My family has loved the Flax Sprinkles. The shaker bottle makes adding flax to our morning oatmeal and soy yogurt easy and fun for the kids. We also love to shake the sprinkles onto pasta! The golden roasted flax seeds are tasty and can be eaten straight from the bag. We just make sure we grind them up with our teeth for extra nutritional benefits.

If you're looking for an easy and quick way to add flax to your diet, be sure to get Flax USA's flax sprinkles. They're easy, tasty, and good for you too!
