Can you substitute oat meal for oat bran?
Yes, as long as you are not allergic to it. There should be no problem.
Can you use oat bran in place of oatmeal for apple crisp?
You can use syrup instead of brown sugar but note that this will make the recipe moister, as there is water in syrup, but not in brown sugar. You may need to add a little more flour to balance this out. The flavour will be slightly different.
Shall you eat whole or ground sesame seeds?
I think it doesn't matter but if you eat whole flax seeds you have to chew them well. The outside of flax seed is too hard to break apart by chewing and whole flax seed is not properly digested to get out the nutrients. The recommendation is to use either flax seed oil to use already ground flax seed.
What is a replacement for wheat germ?
I have successfully substituted ground flax meal for wheat germ in some baking recipes with great success. I thought the flavour and texture was much better.
What is the best way to eat flax seed?
Flax seeds can be eaten whole, ground or as flax oil. It is usually recommended that the seeds be ground for maximum benefit, otherwise the seeds may simply pass through the digestive system, whilst flax seed oil contains only some of the nutrients of flax, having neither the fiber nor the phytochemicals of the whole seed.
How do you eat flax seed?
Flax seeds must be finely ground into a meal to get the maximum benefits from the omega-3 oil and dietary fiber. You can use a coffee grinder and dedicate its use to grinding flax seeds. Once ground, the flax seeds should be consumed quickly, because the oil in the seeds oxidizes rapidly. Try to consume 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed daily, and make sure you drink plenty of water when adding flax seed to your diet. Ground flax seed can easily be mixed into salad dressing, or added on top of dishes including salads, stir-fry, soup, stews, and cereal. Flax seeds are 35-40% oil, so a similar amount of oil may be omitted from any recipe requiring oil that also includes ground flax seeds. Similarly, about 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds steeped in 3 tablespoons of warm water for 2-3 minutes will substitute for one egg in recipes.
1 cup of oat flour equals how much wheat flour?
You can't use one for the other. In most cases, I would not use bran for more than one quarter of the total flour amount.
How do you make plain muffins without flour?
I don't think I would use oat bran cereal in place of oat bran flour. While oat bran cereal will have a high content of oat bran or even oat bran flour, the two are not interchangeable and won't give you the same results.
Is fine if you use flax seed for make a dog cookies?
if your dog cant go regularly than yes because flaxseed helps you use the restroom regularly
Do you have to refrigerate whole flax seed?
Unless you are going to use the flax seed rather quickly it should be stored in the refrigerator. Flax seed's wonderful oils are prone to rancidity if left at room temperature for too long a period of time. I always store my flours, nuts and seeds in the fridge and freezer to prevent rancidity. You'll know it when you smell it. It's like opening a bag of crackers that's been in your pantry for 7 months and they smell beyond stale, they smell rancid. Yuck! Protect your Omega 3 oils in that flax by keeping it cool. :)
How can a seed grow without sunlight?
It uses the energy of the starch and sugar that is stored in the seed to create the first bits of growth that get it to the sunlight. It is that starch and sugar that is the reason we use seeds such as wheat, oat, barley, beans, etc., as energy sources for ourselves.
How many grams of flax seed meal in a tablespoon of flax seed meal?
According to genericflaxseed.com, 1/4 cup of flax seed has 20 grams of fibre. yes, 1/4 cup of flaxseed contains 20 grams of fiber, therefore, 1 tbsp,1/2oz, of which there are 4 in a 1/4 cup, contains 1/4 of 20, i.e. 5 grams of fiber in 1 tbsp of flaxseeds, ground or not. grinding them releases the oils which oxidize rather quickly making it essential to grind them immediately before use in order to obtain the most nutritional value from them.
