I am a huge fan of flaxseed bread. I always buy the same organic 14 grain with flax bread, and I love it. I am not a huge bread eater, but I NEED my peanut butter sandwiches.
For a few years people have been talking about the benefits of flax, how it contains Omega-3 and certian anti-oxidants. There is no doubt that flax seed is good for you.
What are the real benefits of flaxseed in bread though. I would venture to say that the benefits are minimal at best.
Here is a link to a great article about a study being done in Manitoba, Canada. It is quite informative, and hopefully this study will help us better understand the true benefits of flax, and what the long term benefits really are.
