Nice and healthy mouth freshener. I have tasted this in one of my Gujarati friend’s house. Now that I have the recipe I will try it out at home. We like to consume flaxseeds in some form or the other everyday.

Neha, my mother in law loves flax seed mukhwas. Next time when I am in Mumbai will make this for her at home. It is so easy to make it. She usually buys the ready made one.

Wow! I did not know you can make this mukhwas with flax seeds. I make it regularly with fennel seeds. Absolutely love this idea. Will try with the next batch of mukhwas. Thanks.

great recipe to make flaxseed mukhwas, making it a daily habit to consume post dinner. Do you think I could skip the salt here and make small batches
