Preparation, Uses, & Tips

linseeds should be ground before using, for better digestion. In addition to sprinkling them on cereals, salads, casseroles, and desserts, ground linseed can be used in baking to boost nutritional content. Linseeds combined with water in a blender become quite viscous and can be used to replace eggs in many recipes. Linseed oil is used as a salad oil or can be drizzled over cooked foods. Linseed oil is unstable at high temperatures and should not be used as a cooking oil.
