Organic Gluten-Free HI Flax

This bread is a great source of fresh flax seed meal.  Flax seeds are recognized for their multiple health benefits but they have to be ground into a meal because the hard coating of the seed makes them indigestible.  They are the richest plant source of Omega 3 Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA ), and of lignans, the strong antioxidants. They also have large quantities of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. We know that the Omega 3 oils are very sensitive to heat (stores keep them in refrigerated shelves) so our first question before attempting to make this bread was: will the baking destroy the oils that are beneficial for our health? Does it make sense to make it? What we found out was that the oil is very sensitive to heat when it is extracted from the seed, but if you use it in the form of a flax meal, as we do, the oils are protected in the seed’s structure and you can make a baked product that keeps all the good qualities we want to preserve for you.  As usual, we have followed all our Ancient Baking Principles and used the best organic ingredients available.
