  19. I would add a note or a comment on portion sizes. I know the European Food Safety Authority has cautioned portion control on ground flax as it does contain the same cyanide compounds as apple seeds when consumed ground and raw as milling is like chewing on appleseeds for releasing the cyanide compounds.

  23. NO NO NO Im sorry..my mom would add flaxseed to smoothies, invite me to drink some, whennasked not tell me it was in there and I have a texture thing and I was a really picky eater as a kid and I hated it. When I learned she was adding flaxseed which originally I never experienced it I hated it. I dont drink her smoothies or anyones unless its like a "unhealthy" one like from a restaurant or bottled. Although I am biased..I dunno how it canntaste good to anyone it has no flavor?? And the texture makes you go bleh

  24. If you eat at an Ethiopian place ask them if they have Telba, which is like a flaxseed juice (they roast it first, grind it, mix it with water and add a sweetener like honey). It's incredibly tasty and satisfying and we kept going to the same place to buy bottles of it. The sunflower seed version is called Soif I think

  27. Flax seed and chia seeds are my secret weapon for adding fiber to my life. Plus you get omega 3 fatty acids and a good amount of protein. I have a stash at work for my lunches. I just mix either into some water and take it like a shot. Especially helpful when some of my meals may be absent of veggies.

    Per tbsp (12g whole)
    CHIA: 60 cal
    5g fiber
    3g protein
    2.5g omega 3

    Per 2tbsp (13g ground)
    FLAX: 70 cal
    3g fiber
    2g protein
    2.43 omega 3

  28. Hi Jon, we don't have a larger food processor or blender at home. Just a very small 100ml processor we use for grinding chili/garlic and ginger/garlic paste, plus a stick blender. What would you recommend for an experienced (Indian) home cook, as I really want a thermomix for the amount of home cooking we do, but there're probably other options out there. Longer form video would be appreciated x
