How to Make Your Own Ground Flax Seeds

Why Grind Your Own Flax Seeds?

– Most industrially ground flax seed are done in machines that produce a large amount of heat, the added heat destroys some of the valuable nutrients contained in flax seeds.

– Grinding your own enables you to control their temperature making it less likely they will become oxidized!

* Don’t forget to store in the refrigerator to ensure optimal freshness! There’s no sense in consuming rancid flax seeds!

How Long Does Flax Seed Stay Fresh For?

A batch of home ground flax seed is good for about a week, just image how rancid and oxidized most of the store bought ground flax seed is! I much prefer to spend an extra 5 minutes grinding up my own for the week.
