About Ground Flaxseed
Whole flaxseed and flax meal are different measuring forms. For a recipe specifying ground flaxseed, grind first, then spoon the meal into the cup without packing. Do not use a whole-seed cup value for the meal.
Ground flax mixed with water forms a binder used in some egg-free baking. Its performance depends on the recipe; it cannot provide whipped-egg aeration. Follow a tested flax-based recipe rather than a universal egg replacement rule.
Tips for measuring Ground Flaxseed
- Check whether the recipe says whole or ground.
- Measure flax meal before mixing it with water.
Common mistakes
- Applying a dry flax-meal conversion to hydrated flax gel.
