[cancercured] Re: Question for Sandra or other members about Flax Seed Crackers

Hi Elliot,

For the reasons you listed, I don't believe that heating ground
flaxseeds is a good idea.

Regarding dehydrators, I'm not familiar with them enough to
give an opinion and I don't recall members of FlaxseedOil2
commenting on them, though a couple members have mentioned
using them.

the raw cracker recipes they post call for flax seed to be ground
into the mixture because the ground flax seed holds the dough
together, and of course because flax seed is nourishing and is good
fiber.But the dough is dried in a dehydrator at about 105 to 115
degrees fahrenheit for 24 hours or more, and it is my understanding
that ground flax seed goes rancid very quickly at room temperature,
so at 105 to 115 degrees it would do so even more quickly.
