One problem, UPS charge from MN to WY was more than the seed.

Perhaps so, though it still comes out cheaper than the typical 99

cents a pound the average person pays in the health food store:-)

What do you consider the ideal quantity to order at one time? Also,

what is the amount one would use per day, 2 to 3 ounces?

Uhm, well, gosh Wayne, I really do not have an answer for you.

Remember, I buy flax seed by the 50# sacks for I feed it to horses; &

then I myself eat the stuff like candy & let's just say I have a

really " flax " tooth. LOL. Sorry I do not have a real answer for you.

 

FYI ALL, for the horses I normally boil it till it turns into a jelly

like consistency. Geez, don't let it boil over for it makes hideous

mess! Or if I am too rushed I run it through a coffee grinder.

Myself I eat it by the handful (eing sure to chew well)

 

I feed my dog the Missing Links supplement & it has a lot of flax in

it. I always have wondered if it is whole ground flax with the oils

still in; or if it is the hulls of the flax after the oil has already

been pressed out of it -say like after making Udo's Choice oil.

 

I know I used to buy a lot of flax seed hulls from Barlean's & Omega

Nutrition both after they had already been cold pressed for their

oils to add protein content to the horse feed...

What benefit would boiled flax have for your horses Vache? Heat destroys

EFAs. Is there another reason?

Something in flax is neutralized when boiled, thus why horse people

do so for their charges. I'll have to dig back through old info to

tell you exactly what it is. Give me time. Besides, when fed whole

to horses they poop out 99% undigested anyway, thus a huge waste of

monies.
