I add this to smoothies and baked goods. It was recommended by a nurse for my son's constipation. It works and  also adds vitamins, minerals and omega-3s to your diet. Adds a nutty taste and texture to cookies, muffins and even apple crisp. I prefer to use it in smoothies in order to retain all the nutrients. The only con is that I had to transfer the contents to another container as the resealable bag was defective. I just happened to get the one bag that did this, I'm sure. I will re-order this product as I like it very much and is an easy way to add fiber to the diet..
