Flax seeds have a mild, nutty flavor and can be easily incorporated into a variety of dishes. They can be sprinkled raw on cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, salads, or smoothies. Flax seeds can also be eaten as a flaxseed meal and added to baked goods such as bread or muffins. Two tablespoons of flax seeds contain a good amount of beneficial nutrients like fiber, protein, and omega-3.
