Flaxmeal is ground up flaxseed. You can save even more by buying whole
seed and grinding it yourself-- a coffee or spice grinder is perfect.
It's available in my area (central midwest) at healthfood stores for
around a buck to 1.29 a pound for the seed. There are two types, dark
brown, and 'golden' which is slightly more expensive and milder tasting.
Otherwise they're exactly the same.

Flaxseed fluffs up to twice its size when you grind it so 2 tablespoons
of whole seed equals 1/4 cup ground (about the right amount for hot
cereal), which will definitely keep you regular. You might only need to
eat 1 tablespoon a day though, and you can mix it into shakes,
omelettes, as filler for meatloaf, etc, even on salads. You never have
to taste it if you don't want to (when it's fresh it's slightly nutty).

I love my Trader Joes psyllium .. only 4 bucks for 12 ounces .. lasts a long
time
and works like a dream. I have a total of 4 tablespoons per week.

I like to grind it in batches. Keep one batch in the freezer and an active
one in the fridge. doesn't go rancid.

I get whole flax seeds at .49
cents a lb and grind em up myself. A small bowl..like 1/4 cup of
flax seed is more than plenty at a time...so it goes a looonnggg ways.

That's a good price, Kristine. I found flax seeds at $0.99/lb at a
health store and thought it was a bargain. I use an old coffee grinder
on mine. Flax is always helpful when I have that "problem."

Flaxseed Meal is a complete waste of money. Omega3 fatty acids (the
reason you're eating it right?) break down VERY quickly, in a matter
of days (which is why they are so rare in the modern diet). By the
time you eat the stuff, you would get more health benefits from
throwing it away. The shell of the flax seed does a great job at
preventing oxidation, buy the whole seeds and grind them as you need
them (coffee grinders work great).

(BTW this goes for all the 'cooked' flax seed products and recopies,
the omega3s do not survive cooking)
