Whole Flax Seed

Store whole flax seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Refrigeration or freezing will extend their shelf life and prevent the oils from going rancid.

Grind flax seeds just before use for maximum freshness and nutrient availability.

Add ground flaxseed to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, or pancake batter.

Use ground flaxseed as an egg replacer in baking (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, let sit for 5 minutes).

Incorporate whole flax seeds into breads, muffins, and granola for added texture and nutrition.

Consuming large amounts of whole flax seeds without grinding can lead to poor nutrient absorption.

Storing ground flaxseed at room temperature for extended periods can cause the oils to become rancid, resulting in an off-flavor.
