Substitution
Tips for Flax Seed
Substituting Flour – Omega Golden Flax Seed was developed for use in the baking industry because
of its nutrient value and good taste. Flaxseed flour enhances the flavor of whole wheat flour
based recipes and milled flax seed flour is processed to retain a high nutrient content
with 50% flax oil (omega 3 & 6 oils), high Protein, and high Fiber and guarantees a self life of 12 months
without refrigeration! A general rule of subsitition for flour is to reduce the flour by 1/2 to 3/4 cup and add the
equivalent in flax flour. The fiber content of flaxseed flour will require some additional liquid when
converting traditional recipes, as baked goods will brown more quickly. For more great recipe information please
consult a Flaxseed Cookbook.
Substituting Fat: – 3 Tablespoons ground Omega Golden Flax
Seed = 1 Tablespoon Margarine, butter or cooking oil.
Substitute for all or some of the fat depending on the recipe.To substitute
for all of the fat with flax seed, increase liquid by 75% as ground flax seed
absorbs liquid. Baked goods brown more quickly.
Substituting Eggs: – 1 Tablespoon of ground Omega Golden
Flax Seed plus 3 tablespoons water for each egg.
Substitute a 1:3 ratio of ground flaxseed and water mixture for each
egg in recipes for pancakes, muffins and cookies. Allow to sit for several
minutes before adding to your recipe.
