I eat it all the time, so I hope so. In fact, I eat loads of seeds, can't get enough of them! I'm 22 weeks pregnant. Flax is full of Omega 3 fatty acids, which are important for cell development and hydration. It helps the digestion if you soak them first to release the oils. You should eat whatever you soak them in as it contains some oil. Hope this is of help.
