Just a couple facts about Flax Seed:
- Flax is a pretty blue flowered plant that grows on the plains of North Central United States and Central Canada.
- Oil and fiber components of flaxseed have major health benefits. It has both Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Most American's lack these healthy fats in their daily diet.
- It reduces coronary heart disease.
- It is a great source of fiber.
- Other nutrients include: proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, folate, vitamin B-6, pantothenic acid, magnesium, potassium, iron, thiamine, copper, zinc, calcium and phosphorus.
- Your body gets more nutrients if you grind the flaxseed before use. A coffee grinder works great!
Tropical Traditions is giving away to one lucky reader the same Whole Golden Flax Seed I received!

The Coconut Macaroon Granola would be a huge hit at my house! I'd probably have to make a tripe batch to have some left for a second day.
