Q: What is a flax egg?
A: A flax egg is a popular vegan substitute for traditional eggs in baking and cooking. It is made by mixing ground flaxseeds with water, usually in the ratio of one tablespoon of ground flaxseeds to three tablespoons of water. This mixture is then left to sit for about five to 10 minutes, during which it thickens and takes on a gel-like consistency, similar to that of an egg.
