You must grind your flax seeds…

So you have been out to buy flax seed and now want to add it to your diet so you can get all the goodness inside, but why not just sprinkle it on top of your food as it is? Well whole flax seed be it golden or brown flax seeds, cannot be digested by our bodies. It will for all intent and purposes just pass straight through you and so you will have just wasted your hard earned cash.
It isn’t a difficult job, but all you have to do to unlock the nutrients inside is to crush the flax seeds in a grinder; a coffee grinder will do. Now sprinkle on your food and enjoy!
