Our Bread's Secret Heart Healthy Ingredient: Omega 3's

One of the overlooked ingredients in our bread that packs a huge nutritional punch is flax seed flour.  Not only is the bread high in fiber but is rich in omega 3's which according to current research have benefits for the heart.  Flax seeds also contain high levels of lignans that may help inhibit some types of cancer.  Below are links to some good information on flax and omega 3's from the Mayo Clinic and WebMD.

We use Hodgson Mill flax flour found at most major chains.  It's fairly easy to find and doesn't require an extra trip to the health food store.
