It's fine to heat Flax, you can even bake with it and preserve much of the nutrition but you must keep the temp at 300* or lower. I spent a great deal of time looking into this a year ago when formulating a least cost nutritious feed for aged and ailing horses. Flax supplies many minerals and protien as well as balancing Omega Fatty acids. It is high in Omega 3, too high for those not getting other sources of Omega 6 and 9 -- most of us get too much due to eating canola, olive and other oils in prepared foods. Udo's Oil has the best balance if it is the main source of FAs in your diet -- at least that is what I found in my research.
I suppose slimy foods are a matter of taste, I love cooked okra but and escargot, but that is the extent of my slimy foods appreciation. Even the okra turned me off until I developed a taste for it fried and progressed to boiled, with tomatoes and garlic, yum!
