Flax seed Meal...what are the benefits?

aliveandfree22

Today I was shopping and saw Flax seed Meal for pretty cheap.
I'm curious if people here use it, and what you guys mix it with.
Also, what are the benefits and how much/ how often should I have it with my meals?

Thanks!!

It's a great source of fiber! I made flaxseed muffins, add it to pancakes, and I've heard of people mixing it in with yogurt. 2 Tbsp is usually one serving, with that you get 4g fiber.
