I prefer whole, but yeah... good stuff right there.

wait I though nutritionists say that Flax will pass right through you without any perks - unless it's ground?

I don't have any idea about what the nutritionists say, I just grind my own (no, I don't eat them whole). Whole foods keep longer and taste fresher. So the volatile oils in the flaxseed, which give it its flavor, stay around longer in whole seeds. The pre-ground stuff begins to lose it's flavor as soon as it's ground. Same with whole vs. pre-ground spices.

So if you use the ground stuff, try switching to whole and grind them yourself in a good blender or in a little coffee/spice grinder.

The only thing I've ever used flaxseed oil for is seasoning a cast iron pan. :shrug:

Nah, I think the only thing I'd said before is that I grind my own. But no worries either way; I don't expect anyone here to keep up with my habits. I can barely do that myself.

I can't pull the wool over your eyes. I'm a baaaad boy. I generally only indulge when I'm three sheeps to the wind. Now that my secret is out I'm going to have to go on the lamb. Thank ewe.

I eat those. I grind them in smoothies made in my Nutribullet. They are very good for you.
