We have used organic ground flax seed for over a year now and can tell a difference in our overall health.  I use it in cakes, cookies, meatloaf, our hot oatmeal and cream of wheat.  Anywhere, really, where I can tuck a few tablespoon fulls without affecting the flavor or textures of my dishes.  This is an organic way to keep our digestive systems working smoothly without using any harsh stimulants  I've always read that Americans don't get half enough fiber in their diets and a lot of our ailments could be wiped out if more fiber were added to our to our every day eating.  It's rich in Omega 3 fatty acids and has 3 grams of fiber per serving.
