We are very excited to add three delicious vegan cookies to our existing line. Two of them are nearly identical in flavor our Original (Chocolate Chip) and the Peanut Butter. In addition we now offer an innovative Oatmeal Walnut Date Raisin cookie. Cooking without eggs, the most reliable binding agent in baking, created just our kind of challenge. Fortunately our search lead us to ground flax seed. The quantity of information available about the health benefits of ground flax seed is truly amazing. Since this is a blog post, there is no space to attach a bibliography of references to studies that have proven the benefits of flax, especially for diabetics, for people with elevated LDL and Triglyceride cholesterol levels and for people who are dealing with inflammatory diseases. Below please find a link to a very comprehensive article on flax that The World’s Healthiest Foods posted on Flax Seed with a bibliography of dozens of articles published by researchers who studied Flax Seed’s benefits.
Suffice it to say we are excited both to be offering three cookies that honor the Vegan Ethos of eating or using no animal products and that contain three ingredients proven in clinical trials, when consumed at appropriate levels, to lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol. Using Flax Seed as the binder in our vegan cookies adds Omega 3 oils to our cookies and they improve their Glycemic Load and Index numbers because in addition to Omega 3 oils, replacing eggs with ground Flax Seed adds fiber our cookies. As a cancer survivor who has many friends that are keeping an eye on their blood sugar, Rick is especially excited to actually improve on the Low Glycemic profile of the Smarter Cookie Original and Peanut Butter while adding vegan cookies to our offerings.
