1:55 What are sprouted flax seeds?
In this video, we’re going to talk about flaxseed.
Benefits of flax seeds:
• They’re packed with omega-3 fatty acids
• They’re high in fiber
• They have ligands (ligands can help balance estrogen)
• They have a lot of vitamin B1
• They have a lot of copper and other minerals
The problem is that flax seeds also have enzyme inhibitors. This means that flax seeds aren’t digested. Enzyme inhibitors prevent the breakdown of the flaxseed and the absorption of minerals and protein in the body.
Flax oil can have benefits as well as fresh, crushed flax seeds. Otherwise, they will have enzyme inhibitors.
However, what I suggest is getting sprouted flax seeds. When the flax seeds sprout, they no longer have enzyme inhibitors, and they can be digested. You can add sprouted flax seeds to your salad, kale shake, and more and actually absorb the minerals.

Thanks for watching! You may want to give sprouted flax seeds a try.
For those confused by this, All seeds and nuts have enzyme inhibitors, that is why our ancestors let grains stand for a few days prior to processing to use. Ancestors also fermented grains with yeast and probiotic bacteria such as sourdough to make bread. The traditional (over 150 years) knew this. We live in the dark ages of nutritional knowledge, and if you look through the hype to what our ancestors ate prior to industrial food monopolies, the truth will be obvious. Read Nourishing traditions by Sally Fallon, and Nutrition and Physical Degeration by Weston A Price and you will firmly grasp these concepts and be able to teach others the wisdom of real food nourishing our gene expression. There were reasons behind ancient traditions of harvest, fermentation, distilling, etc.
Well said Anne, Dr Berg can't even spell Lignans! Sprouted flax and chia seeds should be included in everyone's diet in my opinion. Plus fermented foods - especially fermentable fibre to keep the god bacteria happy and well nourished. Most people do not consume enough fibre and that causes many intestinal related health issues.
Excellent. You're spot on and explained this very well to everyone.
and you "@@return2earthvideochannel " cannot even spell "good". Lets not be so quick to judge and instead glean what we can from knowledge so freely and easily available to us on the internet.
Very very true Anne. Thanks a lot.
@@return2earthvideochannel he never said not to have them. Jesus.
i put my whole flax seeds in a jar with pineapple juice overnight. It softens and the pineapple pre-digests the hard coating. Plus it's delicious.
Thanks for the great idea!
Wow! Sounds like a great idea.
jleetxgirl yum
U think this would work with all grains,legumes?
Hi. I use milled flax seeds. Do you think that they would be as effective/digestible as sprouted seeds? Thank you for your help!
dude I hope you know how an amazing of a person you are!!!!! I might actually be able to help my dad by watching your videos
I love it that you look at the camera rather than read an auto-cue like so many of your peers. Thanks for the great information.
Mee too Guy, it helps to establish a connection, right on for being observant! 🙄
I just want to stop in to say THANK YOU! I feel like you saved my life! All you do have helped me beyond any Dr. I've ever visited.
Ikr, i feel like hugging him LOL
R u a bot
put 'em in a salt grinder and crush to your heart's content
* mic drop...struttin' away
I've seen some information, but you can put the flax seeds (or other nuts) on a glass bowl with water for like 8 hours (depends on what kind of nuts) for a digestible flax seeds
I will share a recipe. Dry roast flax seeds, dry roast ground nuts ( optional) let it cool. Add raw garlic, little chilly & salt as per taste. grind it all together & make a dry powder. We consume it as chutney or it could be sprinkled on salads or spreads. It's healthy. Doesn't have shelf life though. Not to be left for too long. it gets rancid. I will try sprouts. Never knew that. Thanks for sharing doctor.
can we do sprouted procedure in homes?
+amar of course you could:):)
Anjali Rajadhyaksha U must be Dr shalini's student
Good Food No. I am not Dr Shalini's student. but I am her subscriber.
Thx for the recipe
Thank you ! Just motivated me to sprout my own flax seeds , dehydrate under 100 F and make some wraps!
Question? Doesn't dehydrating them tho make them lose some of their benefits?
@@daisygirl449 Depends on how hot! Under 100f is good!
Thank you so much always wondered how to appropriately eat these
Hi Dr Berg, thank you for your very useful information about flax seeds.
So clear.
I put whole flax seeds and grind them in a coffee grinder then soak them for one hour or less. It neutralizes the inhibitors and releases the enzymes. It takes 24 hours to soak whole flax seeds. It makes a great cereal soaked in rice milk or any kind of milk.
So after 24 hours in water its possible to get the nutritionis out of it?
How long do you soak after grinding
coffee grinder and then add it in my mixer with different vegetables
Hi Sevi. Do you know if milled flax seeds work as well as sprouted? I've been buying milled seeds and never thought that they might not be being absorbed. Thank you for your help!
Just to ensure that you get your dose of cyanide 😅
Thank you so much for your amazing videos... your like my private Doctor who has truly help me with my Keto journey... I couldn’t of done this with out your help! I have your Electrolyre power drink WOW what a difference it makes me feel amazing! So much information out there very confusing you make this way of living simple easy to follow... again Thank so much!
wow! that is excellent point. I like flaxseed. now I know how to eat them to benefit me. thank you so much.
You mentioned flax oil being a good source of vitamin F in another video, but it wasn't mentioned here, so I wanted to make sure I'm not thinking of the wrong kind of oil. Thanks!
in several european countries at least, there are national recommendations not to eat more than two tbsps a day of whole flax seeds due to seed contents that can break down to form cyanide, and to eat even less of crushed seeds for the same reason. eating the sprouted seeds is fine, though. (and it should be lignans, not ligands - ligands are what bind to receptors in a very general sense)
please do the video on chia seeds
Thanks for the Amazon link!
In the east of germany we traditionally combine cold-pressed flax seed oil with quark/curd (german: Quark) and garden herbs and put that on bread or eat it to cooked and peeled potatoes.
Apparently this is healthy food.
Good tip. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Thanks for another great bit of information Dr Berg. Could you maybe give us your thoughts on why some people have hypertension despite being very active, slim and eating healthy. Have you already covered this in another video? If not it would be good to hear your thoughts. Many thanks for all your hard work. We really do appreciate it.
For me it was because of high insulin
it's related with how many times you eat in a day. Search for intermitent fasting, then one meal a day and autophagy and how this prevent almost all modern diseases
Thanks for making this video
Thanks for this... I figured I just wasn't chewing well enough. lol!
you thought around the corner . very good
THANK YOU DR BERG
thanks for the information dr.eric berg. is using grind flaxseed a good choice, because I am already doing that. and does my body get the same benefits of grind flaxseed as from sprouted flaxseed
If you blend them up, unsoaked, in a Vitamix (so they are freshly milled), do you think the enzyme prohibitors will still interfere with absorption process?
Yes, I'm pretty sure those compounds just stick to the milled product
I’ve been making a flax & chia pudding by soaking them in almond milk. I wonder if this method is good absorption??
linseed seeds are flax seeds grounded so you can get the nutrients!!! I take it for bowl moments and it works great xxx
I have been soaking and blending flaxseed for a month. I started losing my hair. Sprouted flax is probably the only way to go.
Please stop doing that! What you have to do now is to control the falling of your hair like what I am doing now. I had very serious hair fall after using the expensive L’Oréal products which contain chemicals. You will see good results in the beginning but your amount of hair fall will increase months later every day which cause you feel like screaming. After watching the RUclips about using the Hair Mask and Shampoo which were made by Aloe Vera Gel including Almond Conditioner, my amount of hair fall now is 1/3 than before. Please stop using any hair products except Organic hair products or Herbal hair products. You will see the good results soon. Also, wash your hair with cold water not HOT water or WARM water daily. Maintain your comb clean daily. Do not use hair blower, rebound and have your hair tied up the whole day which cause hair loss.
I have a question unrelated to this video. Would you recommend fasting for a few days in order to clear out carb stores and get keto adapted?
intreeesting, you gave information
All seeds like flax seeds, chia seeds even grains like oatmeal should be soaked 12-24 hours in water so we can easier digest them and get the full nutrients! It is just simple as that. Just soak them in water or use a blender to make a powder or buy them in a powder form!
JimxxZE Can I consume flax seeds soaked overnight in water?
Yes, you can, in shaa Allah.
Thank you. I will grind flaxseed
Grinding seeds that have not been soaked are pretty much useless. You need to activate them to absorb the nutrients.
You can roast them n put dem in a food processor to grind it
So grinding them and then eating them right away is ok right? that would be much cheaper than the sprouted ones, which cost so much. A cheap coffee grinder can grind them to fine powder
Dr. Berg thanks for your videos. Please explain antioxidants some day. In what health conditions are they helpful? There are many talks about astaxanthin, glutathione etc. Are they any good to take or acai berry powder is enough? Also, what would be the best diet to get rid of anxiety/stress? Hard to imagine it without chocolate and sugar.
Amino GABA
anxiety and stress? try yoga and meditation..
Magnesium Glycinate 💯
Hello Berg! Question, dont the enzyme inhibitors only effect the digestion of the actual seed shell itself? I had the understanding that once the flaxseed was crushed, the body was now able to absorb the nutrients from the seed and that the crushed shell would then simply not be digested and eliminated in the stool like most fiber. Are you saying that the inhibitors that are released by the seed shell actually block the absorption of other nutrients in the intestines??
Exactly - doesn’t seem like the good Dr likes to answer too many of these questions.
Isn’t it obvious, that if the seed shells are ground up and off of the seed meat, that without the shells’ protection the digestive system can now break down the nutritional elements to help us and the shells fiber will also be a eaten by our gut flora, making the microbiome happy, too?
@@PeterCharlesworth Does the ‘good’ Dr Berg really need to reply about a logical process?
@@PeterCharlesworth Doesn't seem like you paid attention to the whole video. He talked about crushing the seed.
Thank you sir for the video, I have a question- how much one can consume flaxseed in a day?
thanks good to know Dr Berg I also sprout sunflower seeds indoor for my salads is that ok to continue???
What about flax seed meal? I used to use it in my yogurt a few years back and lost a lot of weight, but not sure if that was the reason.
Excellent video
Hi Dr Berg I enjoy viewing your videos they are very informative. Regarding Flax seeds there are some saying that guys should avoid consumption because it lowers Testosterone, do you agree?
It might, yes, do it carefully
Look for his video on best seeds on keto
Thank you!
Thank you Doctor
What are your thoughts regaading the Budwig diet of flax oil, flaxseed, and cotage cheese?
Thank You... From the bottom of my GUT!!!! GUSSY G. 💓😊
You can Sprout them yourself and it'll take probably about maybe seven days all you need is flaxseed and paper towels are newspapers and put them in a container and wet them and put it it'll sprout
Wow...!!!
Once again this is disturbing.
Please, when you mention good effects for women add how it effects men also. It get confusing.
Good facts about Flaxseed benefits. I saw on other RUclips videos about Flaxseeds being high in estrogen being not really good for males. I really wanted to get the facts if Flaxseeds were good for men or not
That’s a myth. Flaxseeds have no estrogen in only phytoestrogens which have no affect on humans. They’re very good for you
You mention flax seed for women who are going through menopause.... but with the increase in estrogen from consuming the flax seed, can it actually promote hair “loss?” I started consuming flax seed a year ago and as I was watching another video of yours on hair loss I started thinking is it possibly linked to the flax seed I take?
Loool! When he said the enzyme inhibitors go bye bye!
You are my Blessing
I want to know if I buy ground flaxseed do they still have the enzyme inhibitors?
Thank you a lot doctor berg!!
You're very welcome!
The link for the flax seeds doesn’t work. Could you tell me the name of the brand? Thanks so much!
You are the best of the best!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I live in North Hollywood California. I called a few companies to ask if their brown flaxseed are hybrid and they said it's hybrid. I know hybrid food it's not good for our health. Do you know where can I buy non-hybrid brown flaxseed (heirloom). Thank you in advance.
Do flaxseeds inhibit digestion of other foods also (or only themselves)? I snack on them so much and am wondering whether I need to be mindful of this.
DR. ERIC I NEED TO KNOW... If you buy ground flax seeds, does the omega 3 fatty acids within these seeds become rancid because of OXIDATION... In other words, is the best way to consume these seeds by grinding them down yourself on a machine?
I think that once these seeds are crushed and opened and exposed to Heat, Oxygen, Time, and Sunlight, the oils withing will go rancid shortly after, so I am not doing myself a favor by buying them already grounded, do I make sense? Is is a good idea to buy flax seeds grounded???
Dr. Berg, do flax seed sprouts still have the benefits of the oils?
I started eating flax seeds from 2 months and i was eating them raw and i can now tell that why i was not seeing any difference in my hair.. You saved me. Everyone says flaxseeds and chia seeds are good but none of them says that they should be in a digestable form.. Thanks you sir..
That’s why you need to do research
sir, did you get results after sprouting these seeds?
@@kamal6525 Nope. No difference. I stopped long back.
@@abhijeetchand1898 but im taking for a month in raw form ...i get more mental alertness than before .
Should i continue or not ?
Thank Dr🙏
thanks doc
Thanx homie
Oh no! I just bought golden flax seeds! I know this is an old post but I originally bought them to follow a flax seed wrap recipe. As long as I grind them up in the blender like it says will we still get the benefits?
I'm hoping somebody will have an answer to my question. If you grind the flaxseed and then put it in the freezer and use it each day, does it still lose its nutrient value?
What about flax seed flour that can be purchased in bulk?
Thank you for your very informative video. My question is that I bought ground flax seeds & mixed in wster I drink it down. But, what I don't understand is did flax seeds need to be sprouted first. Or will I "not" get the full benefits of the ground flax seeds because, the flax seeds were never sprouted?
I am confused. Please advise.🙏
No...it needs to be sprouted
Flax seeds supposed to be roasted or soaked over night before ok to consume ?
what if I just ground them up is that ok. or do they still need to be germinated first?
Queneshia Granger its not recommended to eat crushed flax seeds due to seed contents that are digested into cyanide, but sprouting them is fine, and eating them whole is great for the bowel
ok ive eaten up to half a pound of ground up flax for a whole month if the cyanide was a problem id be dead also someone suggested freezing them just so you know freezing hurts the omega 3 just put it in a refrigerator and also some guy said there still enzyme inhibitors bro i dont gain weight when i go off ground flax seed infact i often loose weight as well as when i ate half a pound of ground flax a day for a month i did feel symptoms of to much omega 3 so your just bullshitting sprouting is a good idea cause it gives you some leafy vitamins like vitamin a and k and lowers the calories therefore increasing the nutrient to calorie ratio but you dont need to do it als dont trust the fda on everything bro they suggest 3.33 times less vitamin c than whats recommended by science for optimal health and 10 times less then what our ancestors ate they suggest 2 times the amount of calcium then what is recommended by science for bone fracture rates they suggest half the amount of fiber that science says is necessary and 2.5 times less then what our ancestors ate as well as theres this thing called nutrient recycling gene expression idk how strong it is but it would be retarded to say oh everyone needs this much of that nutrient per pound of body weight/specific tissue
videosivewatched how can I sprout them and germinate them ??
railn j sander There are tons on videos on sprouting nuts and seeds, it's very easy.
railn j sander flax seeds are a little trickier because they get gooey. Just RUclips it
I think you mean lignans, not ligands.
I was thinking the same thing!
Lool ikr I was like that s so ethinge else
Yep. Lignans.
Ligma
Shame upon him, shows he doesn't do any editing
Are Flax Seeds and fish oils the same as far as OMEGA 3 intake? The issue and confusion that I have is that OMEGA 3 fish supplementation is also loaded with OMEGA 6, that by all accounts from what i read, is very bad for you. Is this true? Is taking flaxseeds better than fish oils and what's their content of OMEGA 6s as well? Thanks for the information and happy new year:)
Michael Mushi get Krill oil. It's straight omega 3s.
Thank you
Do those phytoestrogens affect testosterone levels in men? Love, An Insulin Resistant Dude
Moderation Sir Joel! and BTW soy is ok because it doesn't have any estrogen whatsoever just an Estrogen-like compound which doesn't behave as other hormones! 😉
thankyou Dr. what about taking the powder
That is the best and most convenient way :-)
thanks:):) could you fix volume, please:):):)
cool. good to know
Thank you !thank you ! Thank you !☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺you are the best. Thank you.
Isn't Flax - oil, crushed or sprouted regardless - high in mainly ALA Omega 3's of which only 10% get absorbed by the body? Is EPA and DHA (for ex salmon oil) with high absorption/digestion not the preferred choice?
Does soaking help break down the enzyme inhibitor?
Hi Dr. Berg,
I am having trouble understanding the information on Flaxseeds. I have just watched countless videos on the dangers to women from Flaxseeds, and Chi seeds. It increase your estrogin and cause breast Cancers. Please explain it further
I dont understand how to grind them and eat straight is different from putting in smoothie before blended cause the blender grind them aswell no?
Dr. Berg, do the sprouts still have the omega 3 fatty acids?
What can I do to help someone starting Keto that had Bipass on their stomach Dr Berg????
But what of the Phytic Acid in flax seeds? Do we really need to roast or sprout flax seeds to remove the Phytic Acid before consuming? Thanks.
I am wondering. Do they expire? I put them in a container and use the amount needed by crushing them up.Do the seeds actually expire?
Sir, are flax seeds good for kidneys patients?? I am a nephrotic syndrome FSGS proteinuria autoimmune disease patient for past 7 yrs...
Can you please prescribe a dose and frequency of consuming them given my disease
I bought ground flax seed to make 0 carb "flackers." Please, your thoughts on these and ketosis..thanks!
I don’t see the link in the description.
Does anybody know which brand on amazon it was?
Dr, Berg, so does the ground Flax I use come from grinding the seeds? And, does that meal not have much nutritional value?
The good nutrients lose value the longer they have been ground.
Can we grind the flaxseed after a little roasting it nd consume daily at night 1 spoon??? Plzz suggest
Do you recommend flax for breaking a fast? Due to having diarrhea after fasting?
Hi, but people with fibroids shouldn't take these right? One of your newer videos said not to.
Can you please make more fibroid videos for us?? ♡
I've never heard of Ligands... should it be spelt LIGNANS?
What about miller flax seeds? Will those inhibit me from digesting them
Dr.Berg can I use flax seeds with dominant estrogen?
So if I grind my Flax Seed before eating them are you saying that’s as good as sprouting them??
I buy sprouted nuts and seeds for this reason. Sprouted pumpkin seeds are my favorite on a salad. I tried sprouting almonds before and need more practice.
How to sprout flax seeds ?
Dr Berg, could you please tell if flaxseed would raise the estrogen level? I am twisted at the moment. Could women with endometriosis take flaxseeds?
I can't remember the name but there is a German brand of golden flax seed that comes pre-crushed. Very tasty. That is the one to get. Otherwise, just grind 'em immediately prior to use.
Yes. I use them all the time and when I don't get it there is also a Canadian brand I think it's called windmill that has the same. Both works wonderfully.
