1 cup of flaxseed has 38 grams of Omega 3.
This computes at 5 grams of Omega 3 per ounce. (unground seeds). 240grams is 8 ounces= 1 cup. So you can start at 1/2 ounce of unground seeds /serving. I'd even go at one ounce to start so he will get up to snuff faster. Flaxseed is pleasant and should not taste funny. If it does, it has gone rancid, so don't use it. Things still continue to spoil in a freezer only at a slower rate.
I did the computation for 1 cup = 240 grams/8 oz. They have 1 cup at 168 grams. So you can multiply my results by
.6 to get a more realistic amount. But this is a macro nutrient/ food... do it doesn't really matter that much. |
Mrs. D.
Math and computations have NEVER been my forte. I'm a linguist. I speak 5 languages, but I can't translate grams, ounces, etc.
If it's okay, I'll just do the 1 tsp of ground flaxseed into his oatmeal and the same into his salad.
I just had my sprout salad, and I did a teaspoon into the salad. The salad was just fine.
So now we are both on flaxseed.
Let's hope it helps him with his psoriasis.
That would be SOMETHING!!!
Thanks much
