Flaxseeds - Linseed Q
#1
Hey there. I’m wanting to try a vintage hair setting lotion that calls for whole flaxseeds. I can’t seem to find them anywhere (ground seeds don’t work) but my question is, is Flaxseeds and linseed seeds the same thing? Thanks Smile

Yes, they are the same thing. There are different varieties but the seeds are interchangeable. And particularly for cosmetic use I don't think you need to be concerned. You should be able to find whole flax seeds/linseeds in any health food shop, also Bin Inns. And I think the baking sections of most supermarkets would have them - can't remember the brand but it has pale green packaging. Healtheries?

What would you use them for in baking?

They are used in low carb breads and in seedy crackers, also in gluten-free muesli I think.

You can use them as an egg substitute, boil some up and it makes a thick gel.
