How to include omega 3 naturally in your diet? What are the omega-3 rich foods for vegans and vegetarians? Are these questions popping in your head or are you taking omega-3 supplements? Then watch this video. Here you will also learn about benefits of flax sees and best way to consume them.
Include raw flax seeds in your diet, as they are a great source of omega-3 essential fatty acids.
As they are made of polyunsaturated fats, flax seeds are highly unstable and should not be cooked and kept away from direct light.
Sesame seeds are a great source of calcium and can be lightly roasted.
Here is a super quick recipe of flax and sesame seed that can be prepared and kept in airtight container in fridge for 7-10 days.
INGREDIENTS:
๐ธ1/2 cup coarsely ground flax seeds
๐ธ1/4 cup sesame seeds
๐ธ 1/8 cup peanuts
๐ธ 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
๐ธ Rock salt to taste
๐ธ Cayenne pepper to taste
METHOD:
Dry roast the cumin seeds, sesame seeds and peanuts (one at a time as they all need different time to roast) let them cool a bit.
Now in the dry grinding jar, powder these 3 ingredients.
Next, add the salt, cayenne pepper and ground flax seeds and pulse just for few seconds.
The dry seasoning is ready. Sprinkle it on any salads/curry of your choice.
It's great with idli/dosa or in a sandwich.
Remember not to cook this, or not to add in food that is boiling hot.
