Allow to set. It comes out a little soupy, and similar texture to tapioca pudding.

I haven't tried yet, so I'm just speculating, but I suspect they might hide quite well in something like hamburgers or meatloaf. Their dark color will give them away in most baked goods. Maybe chocolate cookies with nuts?<br /><br />~KristaKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002970043709820868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-44373751937759332332013-09-30T13:28:24.071-04:002013-09-30T13:28:24.071-04:00LOL, Peg!

It would be like encountering sesame seeds or poppy seeds in something. You would probably only add a teaspoon or so in most dishes, so there wouldn't be a lot of them. I asked my friend if she noticed anything in her frittata. Always a dangerous question.

But he eats so few things that I can't even figure out what I could add them to that he would not notice. Will have to think about that and try anything and everything. I cannot have fish oil or most fish, so adding Omega 3 would be great this way.

I suspect that the ground flax is what made it so flat. Ground flax is the texture of flour. I think you'll get just as much out of it without the flax.<br /><br />~KristaKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002970043709820868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-37117634356792670952013-09-30T09:41:43.970-04:002013-09-30T09:41:43.970-04:00By that time, there will be something new on the h...By that time, there will be something new on the horizon, Lucy.

I'm especially intrigued by their ability to add fiber and slow down conversion of carbs to sugar in the bloodstream.
