What is Flax Seeds?

Flax seeds are tiny seeds from the flax plant. These seeds are about half the size or less, of an apple seed. There are two common varieties of flax, golden and brown. The golden flax is tan colored and the brown is a medium chocolate shade. Each has a mild sheen and are shaped like slightly flattened teardrops. The flavor is nutty, strong and tastes a bit like linseed. Flax seeds act as a binder in baked goods and because of this is sometimes used in place of eggs to hold dough and batter together. They are a common seed used to top breads and rolls.
