About Hodgson Mill

The Incredible Versatile Flaxseed

Hodgson Mill has harnessed an incredible food powerhouse in our easy-to-use Golden Milled Flax Seed.  Here are some easy ways to take advantage of its many health benefits:
Sprinkle over hot or cold breakfast cereals, soups, salads and side dishes such as potatoes and rice.
Add to your favorite smoothie, health shake or as part of your fiber beverage.
Add to bread dough, pancake, muffin or cookie mixes.
Substitute for a small amount of the flour in baked goods (1/5 of the flour in any given recipe).
Oil substitute – Flaxseed can stand in for some of the oil or shortening called for in a recipe because of its high oil content. If a recipe calls for 1/3 cup of oil, use 1 cup of Hodgson Mill’s Golden Milled Flax Seed to replace the oil. This is a 3:1 ratio. Note: when flaxseed is used instead of oil, baked product tends to brown faster, so slight adjustments in time or temperature might be required.
Egg substitute – Vegetarians can substitute a flax seed mixture for eggs in selected recipes like pancakes, muffins and cookies. These delicious treats may be slightly chewier than normal, and the volume will be decreased. The formula for egg substitution is: 1 tablespoon milled flax seed plus 3 tablespoons of water will be equivalent to one egg. Mix together and let sit for 1-2 minutes, and add to the recipe as you would one egg.
