Flax Snax |
I have been spending less time cooking,
and more time creating Raw Food recipes. The recipe I am
going to share with you is so simple, no need for a
dehydrator. Flax crackers are a wonderful healthy
alternative to store bought chips or crackers. Even the
organic brands have fillers and preservatives. Besides being
the best source of omega 3's, flax is a good source of omega
6, or linoleic acid (LA). Flax seeds contain a high quality
protein.
* Flax seeds are rich in soluble fiber. The
combination of the oil and the fiber makes flaxseeds an
ideal laxative.
* Flax seeds contain vitamins B-1, B-2,
C, E, and carotene. These seeds also contain iron, zinc, and
trace amounts of potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium,
and vitamin E and carotene, two nutrients which aid the
metabolism of the oil.
* Flax seeds contain over a
hundred times more of a phytonutrient, known as lignin, than
any of its closest competitors, such as wheat bran,
buckwheat, rye, millet, oats, and soybeans. Lignins have
received a lot of attention lately because of possible
anti-cancer properties, especially in relation to breast and
colon cancer. Lignins seem to flush excess estrogen out of
the body, thereby reducing the incidence of estrogen-linked
cancers, such as breast cancer. Besides anti-tumor
properties, lignins also seem to have antibacterial,
antifungal, and antiviral properties.
Here are a few
variations of these delicious crackers..use your
imagination!
South Western Flax Snax
1 cup
fax seed soaked 1/2 hour use brown, golden or a blend of the
two
1 tsp chipotle puree
1 clove garlic
1 tsp
braggs or tamari
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup
fresh corn off the cob
1) blend all ingredients in
your blender or Vita mix starting with the liquids at the
bottom, and ending with the flax. Add enough water to blend.
No need to completely puree, however to assimilate all the
nutrients from the flax, the seed should be broken
This
mixture will coagulate if you are not careful!! The
consistency will be gelatinous.
2) Spread as thin as
possible on parchment paper or teflex sheets if you are
using a dehydrator.
3) Dry in the oven at the lowest
temperature for 4-6 hours. Check to make sure they are dry
to avoid spoilage. Alternately, dehydrate at 135 degrees for
12-16 hours.
Break into pieces and serve with Tropical
Guacamole yumyum!!
Italiano Flax Snax
1 cup fax
seed soaked 1/2 hour use brown, golden or a blend of the two
1/2 cup sesame seeds soaked 2-4 hours
2 Tbsp
sundried tomatoes in olive oil or 5 rehydrated in water
1 clove garlic
1 tsp braggs or tamari
1/4 cup
basil
1 cup fresh grated zucchini
Follow
directions as above and serve with Antipasto or Hummus
A
note about dehydrators….you get what you pay for!! I am a
proud owner of an Excalibur Dehydrator, and it is worth the
investment. I started with a cheap model, that lasted about
1 year, and is now out there somewhere adding environmental
waste. Food for thought….. |
