   450C? Does that mean 450 degrees Celsius? I want your oven!

   I didn’t even catch that. I think she means Fahrenheit.

   That would be one hot oven if it was celsius.

   Mmm………..Although the recipe sounds tasty I don’t think it is very healthy to heat olive oil to a temperature that high. Some good olive oils have a smoke point as low as 200-250°F. Once it reaches smoke point it starts to decompose. The high temperature may damage the precious oils in the seeds too.

   It looks good, but the lady at the local spice shop where I get my ground flax
   seed, as well as “as is” tells me that flax seed does better when it isn’t cooked,
   but added to the mix later, say in salad dressings, in cooked oat meal, and other
   hot and cold foods.

   What is your take on that point?

   Mind you, the lady at the spice shop is one of those Georgian, as in Central
   Asian ladies who learns from the local Homeopaths and from the local Grannies
   who carry a tradition of what to eat that is healthy for you. So . . .

   Well, there is some debate amongst that and as long as you don’t cook it for long periods of time I don’t see the degradation being that great. Now if you cooked flax seed for 45 minutes or an hour I could see it breaking down some. 10-12 minutes in an oven though isn’t going to cause that much damage to the seed.

   Like I said though there is debate on this topic so there are probably others that feel differently on this.
