are a great source of protein but they are also very rich in calories so overeating them might actually cause weight gain so you need to be careful Here and Now talking very briefly about flaxseed oils they have a very low smoking point so they are not suitable for frying or cooking Foods in them but you can use them for dressing your salads or for your skin care or just as a digestive supplement one common mistake that people make when country make flaxseed is that they just take it whole they just take a whole teaspoon of it and then down it with a glass of water that's a completely wrong way of eating it flax seeds are small and hard and that makes it very difficult for our bodies to digest it properly the outer skin also contains phytic acid which acts as an anti-nutrient which means it will prevent the absorption of all the good minerals that the seeds contain raw seeds can pass through your digestive system undigested which is why you just don't take the seeds and down it with a glass of water and both roasting and grinding it is necessary for you to absorb its most valuable compound omega-3 fatty acid or alpha linoleenic acid now try pronouncing that but here are the four ways in which you can consume flax seeds there are many others but these are the simple ones the fifth one will be a seasoning blend recipe it is something that you're going to absolutely love the first way is to soak a teaspoon of flaxseed in water for a couple of hours the seeds will be softer to chew and this is great for those people who take flax seeds just before bedtime for problems like constipation if you do not have time to soak then just boil a teaspoon of flaxseed in a cup of boiling water and cook it for a further two minutes the second and a very common way is to dry roast the seeds these dry roasted seeds are easier to chew and they also become more flavorful once you have roasted the seeds you can also grind them into a fine powder and use them in several ways whole flax seeds can also be a problem or it can be a challenging food for those people with dentures and other Dental conditions so this is where ground flax seeds are more helpful these roasted flax seeds are a versatile ingredient and they can easily complement your diet you can add it to your smoothies yogurt oatmeal and even use it as a substitute for eggs in your baking recipes the Third Way is routing flax seeds can be sprouted and it can be added in small quantities to your everyday meal or to your salads and the Fourth Way everyone's favorite weight loss so if weight loss is your goal then add a teaspoon of ground flax seeds to a cup of warm water along with some fresh lemon juice and have it once between your large meals this will prevent you from binging on snacks and thus reduce your overall calorie intake so how much flaxseed should one consume every day generally one to two tablespoons of flax seeds are considered to be safe for everyone if one does not have known allergies and if they do not overdose on them if flax seeds are taken in large doses it may cause indigestion and the high fiber content may make constipation worse so if you have any concerns about adding flax seeds to your diet then it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider and finally the fifth way is where flax seeds can be used in any seed based seasoning blend but before that don't forget to hit the like button and subscribe to our Channel your support is important for now this is a seed based seasoning very similar to zatak so to make this seasoning we will need half a cup of unshelled white sesame seeds half a cup of raw flax seeds a quarter cup of sumac one tablespoon of red chili flakes or two to three dry red chillies a quarter cup of cumin seeds a quarter cup of thyme and some salt to taste when you choose sesame seeds for seasonings use the unhulled seeds the maximum calcium is in the hull and it is also a great source of fiber to make this seasoning we will first dry roast all the seeds but we will not dry roast them all together because different seeds have different roasting times I'll begin with the sesame seeds first they take the least amount of time when you roast sesame seeds as soon as you hear the pop you can lower the flame and when the pop and the crackle becomes more intense then remove it from the Heat and keep it separate from rest of the other ingredients I will tell you later why I am keeping it separate but remember during toasting you're not Browning these seeds you're just roasting them until the aroma comes out once the sesame seeds are done toast the cumin seeds the moment you get this light Aroma and again this pop and crackle becomes more intense remove it from the heat now we will toast the flax axis and it can take maybe one to two minutes for this to toast completely the pop and the crackle is your best judge here you cannot actually estimate the time the temperatures that you need to roast because you will have different pans your heating temperature might be different so this is very important that you keep your eyes and your ears open when you're doing the roasting when the flax seeds are also done remove them from the Heat and allow it to cool beside the cumin seeds the reason we are allowing the seeds The Toasted seeds to cool is because when they are still warm and you grind them they will form big lumps which is why you need to allow them to cool most blenders are also made of plastic and even though they are food safe it is not recommended to blend hot ingredients in them and finally I'm going to roast some chilies but don't dry roast them else you will cough until eternity so smear some oil on them or just put some oil on the pan and toast them lightly on low flame be careful not to burn them it will begin to swell slightly and you will feel the light pungent aroma so that is when you will stop the chili you use and the amount of chili you want to use will depend on how spicy you want the seasoning to be so anything from Aleppo chili to kashmiri red chilli or even Hungarian smoked paprika would work perfectly and if you are using powdered chili then it is perfectly fine but remember do not roast the powder all the ingredients are toasted now so take a blender and add these ingredients to it add some sumac and salt and blend it into a fine powder remember I have not added the sesame seeds yet when this mix has turned into a nice fine powder then finally add some sesame seeds and give it one or two pulses this way the sesame seeds will still be visible and it will also add some nice texture and some visual appeal to the seasoning mix taste it and see if you want to add some more salt sumac or thyme store this seasoning blend in an airtight container away from sunlight and moisture remember this is important and always use a dry spoon when you're using it since the seeds are ground so you need to make this seasoning only in that much quantity that will last up to 10 days otherwise the flax seeds and the sesame seeds they will begin to oxidize and since this plant is very similar to the spice blend satar it can be used in the same way you can add it to anything other than your ice cream you can add them to your salads hummus toasted Breads and cooked grains just try to taste this spice blend that you have just made and you will have so many ideas coming to your mind you can steam your vegetables or stir fry them you can roast your meat and steam your fish and then add the seasoning on top of it and this will completely turn the taste of your food and it's a great way of having flax seeds and also sesame seeds and in this way you will also be able to have these seeds in limited quantities you will not overdose on them and it will not look like you're on some kind of a medication it will become a more enjoyable and a pleasant experience if you notice almost every ingredient in this blend is rich in antioxidants and it helps in better digestion and nutrient absorption I hope you have enjoyed this video and I also hope that you will make this seasoning blend do remember to like And subscribe and share it with those people who might find it helpful and I will see you soon with another inspiring recipe very soon
