Baking Science
Forms a viscous gel with water (mucilage). 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water = 1 'flax egg'. Rich in ALA omega-3 fatty acids.
Recipe Context
For nut flours: weigh to avoid dry or greasy texture swings.
For seed gels: hydration ratio directly affects binding strength.
For toppings: weight gives consistent coverage and bake color.
Common Pitfalls
- Switching brands without re-checking weight can change texture and bake time.
- Using volume-only measurements for dense ingredients can overshoot recipe targets.
Brand Variance & Measuring Method
Baseline reference: 1 cup flax seeds (ground) = 126g. In real kitchens, a practical range is usually 115g-137g per cup (9% band).
Why this happens: cut size, grind consistency, and oil content alter packing behavior.
