    For e.g. Linwoods, is it really worth adding two tablespoons of this to your food each day. What would peoples opinions be on the nutritional value? Got a few free samples at health food show and they taste nice but don't know if its just another gimmick. Also I've read they are pretty worthless if you don't keep them in the fridge after opening so for anyone who does use them make sure to keep em' fresh!

    You're better off just buying whole pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds etc., I don't think organic seeds are going to be drastically better for you than the ordinary stuff. I recommend wheat germ, stuff is cheaper than a lot of superfoods and is a well-balanced food in terms of protein, carb and fat not to mention packed with vitamin E.

    Linwoods is expensive, like €7 a packet, isn't it.

    If its a gimmick its alot to be spent on it.

    Aldi does similar for like €2.50. Thats cheaper, gimmick or not.

    Linseed loses its oils when they are milled and exposed to air, so better to buy a coffee grinder and grind your own. I do buy milled chia seeds but it seems to be the only way to get it in tesco anyway

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
