For all the pure vegetarians and vegans out there (and people trying to save a few calories or egg or those with egg allergies), this one’s for you! Try this wonderful egg substitute tip the next time you bake or need an egg in a recipe. Of course, you won’t be able to make an omelet, but the possibilities are far and wide.

My question is regarding boiled eggs. Boiled eggs smell really bad if eaten few hours later, is there a way we can prevent the horrible smell?
Thank you in advance.

YEs…when you boil eggs, after they are boiled, you should immediately immerse them in cold water. this helps in keeping the smell away as it avoids forming the bluish greenish ferrous ring on the yolk which is otherwise formed when you leave them in hot water.

Is this substitute going to change the flavour of the baked item??

The flavor does not change but you will be able to see some small flecks of flaxseed.

I like this tip. I could have used it 2 weeks ago I ended up substituting soy yogurt for the eggs.
Also I want to ask for a demonstration on how to use the Premier Kitchen machine for wet and dry grinding. I’m interested in purchasing one but would like to see how it’s used first. Maybe put it on your list?
Your website is so well put together and your both naturals at teaching…when can we expect a tv show or a book?

Hi Jayashree,
You can find flaxseed (whole or powdered) at most health food stores such as Whole Foods, Sprouts, Central Market, etc.

I would love to use cake mixes/coockie mix where I can’t use eggs. Can I substitute flaxseed pwdr?

Yes, you can substitute flaxseed powder for eggs in the ready made boxes. I have personally tried flaxseed powder in a box of brownies and it turned out great. The only thing I would like to mention is that (depending on how fine the powder is), I was able to see little flecks of the powder in the brownies. The taste was great though. You may have an issue with this if you are making a white cake…the flecks will be more prominent.

Hi,

Hi Vinnie,
We have never tried using flaxseed in home made pasta, but if you try it, we’d love to hear your feedback. (Be sure to try it on a small batch
).

sorry, i forgot to add can the flaxseed be used in curries like cumin or mustard seed is used?

hetal Reply:

Hi again Vinnie,
No, you cannot use flaxseed in seasoning like cumin or mustard seeds. Flaxseed should not be exposed to high temperatures unless it’s a part of a batter (for example). It should not be put into hot oil or toasted.

Can we use this substitute while making pancakes? I use the bisquick mix and it requires 1 egg.
Thanks

Hi Neha,
Flaxseeds are also known as Alsi in Hindi
Regarding the tikkis, we think you go the color from the ketchup. We are glad you liked it.
Cheers!

Hi Deepal,
No, you should not roast flaxseed. Just grind them as is.
