Grinding Flax Seeds
Flax seeds need to be ground in order for you to absorb their nutrition goodness. Without grinding them, they’ll simply pass through the body undigested. The quickest and most effective means of grinding flax seeds is to put them in a regular old blender/food processor. You can also grind them in a coffee grinder. If you go the blender route, add about a cup of the flax seeds, start the blender on a lower setting, then gradually work your way up to high power,
occasionally stopping the blender and stirring the seeds with a wooden spoon to ensure even grinding.
Total grinding time can take up to five minutes, and the end result should be a fine meal. Store your flax meal in a sealed container in the fridge.
