where else can i introduce flax, besides cereal?

well, this is a potential bread possibility:

that's dempster's flax seed, which is better than a dempster fire. i'd have to take a bit of a hit to the niacin, but it's otherwise comparable and consequently a potentially positive substitution. for the egg meal, substituting this for plain jane whole wheat would alter the 6:3 to the following:

(5.0641-.161+.5)/(0.9075-.07+.9) = 3.1:1

overall, the substitution would be to:

(8.2711-.161+.5)/(1.7241-.07+.9) = 3.37:1

so, that sounds like a good choice, too. i just need to balance the price. i'm getting mixed signals via a google search - some suggest it's about the same price as cheapy whole wheat, others put it in the fancy breads category.

i actually am running low on omega-6s it seems - and doing quite well with omega-3s.
