Notes
What is the difference between flaxseed meal, flax meal, and ground flaxseed?
All these terms mean the same thing. They are all flaxseeds that have been ground into a fine powder.
Storage Tips
A flaxseed egg takes minutes to make, so there's no real need to store it. However, when it comes to the flaxseed meal, I recommend storing it in a glass jar in the fridge for longevity.
