100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 22

Bought some ground flaxseed.  Many years ago, one Chinese American dietitian taught me how to use flaxseeds for egg replacement.  At that time, we only ate ground flaxseed because of its nutrition value (omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin B-complex, manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium).  

Now, one of our family members can't eat egg.  So, I soak ground flaxseed in hot water for about 5 minutes, then, stir flaxseed mixture well to make "eggs" for baking.

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons hot water = 1 egg

2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons hot water = 2 eggs

3 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 9 tablespoons hot water = 3 eggs

and so on...

One of my friends just told me to always grind whole flax seeds fresh.  It is because the omega-3 inside flax seeds is highly unstable and very easy to get oxidized.  So, from now on, I'll buy flax seeds, ground them myself and make my own "eggs".
