Have you wondered what to do with Golden Flax seed if it is whole seed? Read about How to Grind Flax.

The Omega 3 oil in Flax seed can go rancid if it is ground and then left sitting out of the fridge, because the heating process starts the Omega 3 oils to break down and denature.

You can grind whole flax seed in a coffee grinder in a blender, then is best to eat the ground flax that day or put it in the fridge... which will prevent the Omega 3 oils from denaturing and going rancid.
