Making Flaxseed Meal at Bob's Red Mill
A couple of weeks ago I was chatting with my friend Cassidy at Bob’s Red Mill, and she kindly offered to sponsor another great giveaway. Longtime readers will already know that I’m a fan (and Bob’s is an Eating Rules sponsor), and if you missed my behind-the-scenes tour of their facility last year, you should definitely click over and check it out.
As I mentioned last week when I asked you what favorite foods you discovered in 2011, my “new-to-me” food last year was Hulled Hemp Seeds. So when we started brainstorming which products to offer up in the giveaway, and I mentioned my newfound love of hemp seeds, we came upon the idea of doing an “Omega-3 Three-Pack.” And for good measure, we’re going to give away three of ‘em!
So to start your new year off right, three lucky winners will receive one bag each of Bob’s Red Mill Hulled Hemp Seeds, Chia Seeds, and Ground Flax Seeds. It’s the Omega-3 Trifecta! (With lots of fiber, too!)
The Hemp, Chia, and Flax Trifecta!

You’ll need to start by leaving a comment on this post, sharing some ideas on how you’ll incorporate these powerhouse seeds into your diet.

I love to stir seeds and things into peanut butter for a PB&J plus omega-3~

I use chia and flax every morning in my oatmeal! Would love to try hemp the same way, or in some oatmeal cookies.

I use ground flaxseed meal EVERY day in my oatmeal – would LOVE to win this prize! Have several recipes that use chia seed – haven’t tried hemp seed yet – WOW! what a great giveaway!!

I have only tried the flax seeds, but I’m sure they would all go great with oatmeal, whole grain breads, muffins, and cookies. I also like them slightly toasted and served over steamed or roasted green beans.

I have read some good recipes that require chia seeds or a chia egg and I have been wanting to try it.

We love our omegas in smoothies and in granola

I LOVE oatmeal and have been curious about incorporating chia seeds into my weekly oatmeal experiments! I see recipes for it all the time but have never gotten the chance to try it on my own~ I have also been experimenting with different smoothies and would incorporate both the chia seeds and hulled hemp seed for a super nutritional boost (much needed after a strenuous workout). To be honest, I’ve never worked any of these items, but I would love to try baking with the flaxseed meal (would probably work well with breads, muffins, etc. yes?).
I also wonder how any of these items could be integrated with my family’s Traditional Chinese palate… I definitely see hemp and/or flaxseed working well with something like Sichuan Eggplant…

I like them mixed in smoothies and oatmeal.

I am fascinated by the combination of seeds and want to check out the taste. I have known Andrew for a long time and trust him not to lead me astray.

Hm… I like the idea of using them in oatmeal :D

I love to mix lots of healthy goodies (flax seed, etc) into our pancakes!

Believe it or not, I haven’t tried chia or hemp (but don’t tell Woody Harrelson I’m a hemp virgin). I’d put them in my Arrowhead Mills Rice and Shine (organic brown rice hot cereal).

I would love to make my own energy bars and these seeds would be perfect for that! I would also add them to smoothies, granola, and quick breads.

I recently made an indian snack with Flaxseed that my parents told me about.. I add other gram flour.. Yummy! I plan to make my flaxseed and gram flour bars tomorrow!
Happy MLK junior day

I have heard about Chia seeds and I am interested in trying them. :)

I bake with flax and hemp – but am new to the Chia scene – tell me more!

Just watched Forks over Knives, it really got me thinking about eating better. Just not entirely sure how to? Your site is a great resource for somebody like me. Thanks. Regarding how I would add this to my diet, to be honest I don’t really know yet. So used to prepackaged junk, some recipes would be great.
