Grind Flax to Avoid the Seed In, Seed Out Experience!

Grind flax seed for the optimal benefits! Flax seed can be eaten whole, but the seeds will pass through the body without any impact.

Have you wondered what to do with whole flax seed?

In order to take advantage of the powerhouse of nutrition in this little seed, you gotta grind it!

Whole Flax seed: How To Grind whole flax:

• Step 1 - Find a small coffee grinder or a blender that is strong enough (we use a vita mix) to grind the flax.


• Step 2 - Measure out how much flax you want. Our flax is about 1 Tbs seed = 1.5 Tbs ground flax, because of the high Omega 3 oil content.


• Step 3 - Grind the flax for 20 seconds to 1 minute depending on how finely ground you want your flax (finer flax will thicken up more in liquid, coarser flax will give your foods/juice more texture)


• Step 4 - Put in a container and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks -this is great for days when you are in a hurry. (Always do the taste test on flax -if it tastes bad or smells bad, don't eat it!).


• Step 5 - Eat the freshly ground flax in one of these ways or use it in these flax recipes.

• It is important to grind flax seed, otherwise, it will just pass through the body undigested and your body won't get all the good benefits of the Omega 3 oil, Lignans, and fiber!
• Grinding your own is the most economical way to eat flax seed!
• The Omega 3 oil in Flax seed can go rancid if it is ground in a coffee grinder or in any way heated, so if you grind your own, then is best to eat the ground flax that day or put it in the fridge!
• We now have true cold milled flax, that is a special, ONE-OF-A-KIND method invented by the farmer and it NEVER exposes the flax seed to any heat; therefore, just like cold-pressed Olive Oil, the cold milled flax will not go rancid and you can leave cold milled flax, sitting on your shelf easy to use every day!
