Are Chia Seeds Good for You? | 10 Health Benefits of Chia Seeds Yes, for those who want a quick answer, Chia Seeds are most likely good for you.  Chia Seeds are one of the plant-based foods that contain one of the most significant amounts of fibre and omega-3 fatty acids. They abound in copious amounts of high-quality protein, along with several antioxidants and essential minerals. These may improve blood levels of heart-healthy omega-3s, digestive health, as well as any risk factors for heart disease and diabetes. Read on for all of this and more if you'd like answers as to why Chia Seeds could be precisely what you need. Chia Seeds Are Easy to Incorporate Into Your Diet Chia seeds themselves are quite bland, making them an easy add on to pretty much anything. A massive bonus of them is they don't need to be ground up like flax seeds do. Making them so much easier to prepare. Chia seeds can be eaten raw, added to porridge, puddings, smoothies, soaked in juice or different kinds of milk, or added to baked goods. You can also pepper them on top of different rice dishes and vegetables. However, the most popular way Chia Seeds are incorporated into diets is by sprinkling them on cereals, yoghurts and granolas. Chia Seeds have the fantastic ability to absorb both water and fat. This special trait can thicken sauces in recipes and as egg substitutes in certain baking recipes. A good supplement of chia seeds to recipes will dramatically boost their nutritional value. Chia Seeds do seem to be well tolerated throughout, but if you're not used to eating a lot of fibre, there is a chance of experiencing digestive side effects if too much of it is eaten...

For anyone who wants the short answer to the question “what is the difference between Linseed and Flaxseed” the answer is; none . Linseeds and Flaxseeds are the exact same thing.  Confusion around these two names stems from the two big English-speaking countries. In the UK, we alternate between linseed and flax, while in the United States and Canada, both are referred to as flax.     But what is flaxseed ? What is linseed? Flaxseed or  Linseed  is a small seed which comes from the flax plant  Linum usitatissimum . The plant produces two types of seeds in different colours:   Brown Linseed   and   Golden Linseed . They have a very similar nutritional profile. You can buy whole flaxseed, ground flaxseed or flaxseed oil.    What is linseed used for? Flaxseed/linseed is considered a superfood. It is used to help the digestive system and relieve constipation. Flaxseed may also reduce the risk of heart disease because it helps with blood cholesterol and lowers  bad cholesterol levels. Doctors recommend the ground linseed variety as it is much easier for digestion and allows the body to absorb all the nutrients.  Whole Linseed may pass through your intestine undigested.  Linen is also used to make textiles for cloth and linseed oil can also be used ...

How is Linseed Used in Baking? Linseeds are popularly used in baking as an oil alternative and binding agent.  Linseed is able to replace all of the fat called for in a recipe due to its high oil content. If a recipe calls for 1/3 cup of butter, oil or other fat then the use of 1 cup of ground linseed is advised as a replacement. Generally, use a 3:1 substitution ratio. Vegan bakers often substitute eggs for a linseed mixture in baking recipes like muffins, cookies, and even pancakes! Baked goods made with linseed have a chewier, slightly gummier texture compared to those using eggs. Another aspect of linseed baked goods is the decreased volume in these pastries. As the texture of the baked goods will differ depending on the ingredients used, testing the recipe with the alternatives first to determine its quality beforehand is advised.     Please note that flax eggs are not a one for all. Flax eggs won’t have the same effect on recipes which require whipped egg whites for the purpose of creating lift and structure. These include angel food cake or cloud bread. The same is true of flourless recipes, such as flourless chocolate cake or flourless cookies. Flax eggs work best for binding however, they won’t be able to star as the main ingredient themselves. A general rule of thumb for flax eggs is they work best in recipes that call for 1 or 2 eggs. As opposed to recipes where more eggs are needed. The attractive, vegan approved alternative to egg is known as a ...

What is Linseed and where does it come from? Linseed is a small, reddish-brown or golden-yellow seed from the common flax plant, linum usitatissimum . This same plant has been used to grow the fibre from which linen has been made for thousands of years. Linseed was first cultivated for food in the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia. Located in the Middle East over nine thousand years ago. However, there is evidence that suggests that it was woven into fabric as long as 30,000 years ago.  It was important to successive empires, especially the Egyptians and Romans. The biggest producers of linseed today include Kazakhstan, Canada, Russia and China. Linum usitatissimum , is an annual plant. Cultivated flax plants grow to have tall, slender stems. The leaves are green, with a slender lance-o-lated shape. Linum usitatissimum has flowers of a  pure pale blue. The fruit growing on the plant is a round, dry capsule that contains several glossy brown seeds. It is shaped like an apple pip.  How did Linseed become popular? Then The use of Linseed first came into popularity for being cultivated extensively in ancient Egypt, where mummies were embalmed using linen. Egyptian temple walls had paintings of flowering flax. The earliest evidence of humans utilisation of wild flax was as a textile. It comes from the present-day Republic of Georgia, where knotted and dyed w...

Disinfect, descale, decimate soap scum and sparkle. Our Citric Acid Tile Paste is a dream come true.

  What is Citric Acid Citric Acid (CA) is a white powder typically used as an additive in foodstuffs to preserve freshness and prolong shelf life. It does so by increasing the acidity of products and killing the bacteria that cause food spoilage as the increased acidity prevents the bacteria from growing. This is also why CA is established as a powerful cleaning agent. Citric Acid is also known for its use in dietary supplements as our bodies are able to absorb minerals more efficiently if these are attached to Citric Acid.  How is Citric Acid Made? There are two types of Citric Acid out there. The first is derived from — drum roll — citrus fruits! Things like oranges, lemons and limes. CA can also be found (albeit in smaller quantities) in tomatoes and berries. Citric Acid is a compound found naturally in citrus fruits. However, extracting Citric Acid from citrus fruits is very costly. The demand for CA is greater than the available supply of citrus fruits.    The second type of Citric Acid is one that is procured from microbial fermentation, aka fungus. The fungus in question is a type of Aspergillus , very common fungi commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry. Aspergillus is fed with sugar which it metabolises into a liquid solution. In time Aspergillus spores germinate and cover the liquid creating a mat of mould. Some days later, the Citric Acid starts being produced.   Sugars used for the creation of Citric Acid can be derived from wheat, cane sugar, or corn. Citric Acid is often derived from corn in the US since it is a very cheap, heavily subsidised...
