Fibre and Roughage

Ground Linseed/Flaxseed is good as a breading alternative too. Put it on fish, chicken or anything else you like breaded & just fry or oven bake. I make scotch eggs like this.

Now scotch eggs is a brilliant idea. You are a man of many talents Mark. Ordered a pack the seeds its on the way.

Found an import shop that sells GENUINE Kellogs All-Bran made in Thailand so should be the real McCoy and not some wood shavng off a factory floor. Had to take out a mortgage to buy a 315gn box. 36.6gm carbs 45g serving, that is half the daily allowance I have set myself but until the seeds arrive better than nothing I guess. Sitting staring at it trying to pick up the courage to eat some.

Crushed pork crackling apparently makes a good low carb coating for Scotch eggs. Tasty too!

I think I read that you don't get the benefit of linseed unless it's ground. They tend to pass straight through me, I know that.
They are a good source of omega 3 (as well as fibre) but not if they don't get digested.

Think you're right, Radders. Grinding them releases the fibre.

I have been grinding flax seed and it is a nightmare. Is it ok to soak it over nigh whole in milk, for example, in the fridge then put it directly onto my oatmeal or all-bran?

 

[Radders]

Soaking them overnight in water definitely helps, you will just have to try it I guess and see if you notice any benefit!

Thanks for the tip about linseeds Mark. Made a baked ‘southern fried chicken’ last night and much nicer than coconut flour
