Written by Jayashree

Flaxseed chutney powder is a tasty and ideal condiment to make and store at home. It stays good for a long period and makes a good accompaniment with any meal. It is usually served with jowar roti or chapati along with other dishes.

A hearty new year greetings to one and all. May the year be filled with joy, peace and happiness. The first post of 2019 and as is the custom to begin with good things, I thought of kick starting with a healthy recipe on the blog. Flaxseed is the new age food that has gained a lot of importance because of its immense benefits. Presenting, flaxseed chutney powder that is not only tasty but healthy, easy to make and pairs well with many dishes. It is a life saviour during busy days.

What is flaxseed?

Flax also known as common flax or linseed is a member of the genus Linumin the family Linaceae. It is a food and fiber crop cultivated in cooler regions of the world. The textiles made from flax is known as linen in the western countries and traditionally used for bedsheets and other kind of clothing.

How is it helpful?

Flaxseed is considered to be a super food as it is a good source of many nutrients. The main nutrients of flaxseed are Omega 3 essential fatty acids, lignans and fiber. It is high in Omega 3 Fatty Acids and consists of alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which is mostly found in plants. It lowers the risk of stroke and is heart friendly. The other rich source is the lignans which may reduce the risk of cancer. They are rich in dietary fibre and can be consumed easily. It helps digestive conditions  including chronic constipation, diarrehea, irritable bowel syndrome.

How can one eat flaxseeds?

Flaxseed is available as whole seeds, meal powder, liquid oil and oil in a pill form. It can be easily added to cereal, baked goods and garnished in other dishes in its powder form. Add a few roasted flaxseed to salad, it tastes good. I also add a spoon of roasted flaxseed while making thalipeeth.

How can this chutney powder be used?

It makes a good accompaniment with chapati, idli, dosa, rice or curd rice. It is a life saviour on busy days or when you are bored to cook an elaborate meal.

How long can it be stored?

It stays for more than two months, make sure the container is dry.
