Eat Flax Seed for Health
The flax seed is often overlooked
In our quest for healthy eating
Don’t ignore this delightful little seed
Smaller than a grain of rice
Loaded with things that you need
This powerful source of
omega 3s
To aid in the prevention of cancer
And has other phytochemical compounds
That will help to keep you healthy
Sprinkled on the morning toast
Or into a small amount of water
Onto your
salad or any place you please
They won’t overpower the other food
A tablespoon full or two each day
Will help insure that you get
Your nutrients each in a nice way
Please don’t delay, do it today
Can be added to baked goods or chewed raw
Cooked like an interesting porridge
With its nutty flavor and cheap price
Flax seed oil is at the health food store
But it is rather expensive for my taste
A pint will feed me about a month
And costs as much as four packs of cigarettes
A pound of flax seeds costs a buck or two
At my favorite bulk food store
A fifteen dollar coffee grinder
From my local grocery
Does a nice job
In ten to twenty seconds
A food processor will do the job
In no time flat
Depending upon your tastes
And where you’re putting them at
Grind them into pieces
Lest they pass through
Undigested
And do you no good
