Flax Seed..Can someone help me???

Hmmm..well, I usually get about 2 pounds and put the bag in the fridge when I get home.It seems to me that "the clock starts ticking" once the seeds are ground, but while whole, they last quite a while.It might sound crazy, but my favorite way to use ground flaxseed is to sprinkle a couple of teaspoons on a salad (after mixing in the dressing). It's really good!I tried the pre-ground stuff once and I hated it too - who came up with the idea to drink it in water,anyway?? Yecch!Plus it's so much more expensive that way.I hope I answered your questions!

Just buy regular flax seeds and grind them in a coffee grinder before you add them to recipes to get their benefits.
BTW Cooking light.com has a recipe for a quick bread with flax seeds and it is yummy! I think, it is a pumpkin bread. FLax seeds add nicely to muffin recipes and zucchini bread or banana breads too!
Take time to enjoy those who matter most to you & do all things in moderation

Hi lynda,
It's 3/4 cup ground flax seeds if you choose to grind them. Or 3/4 cup unground flax seeds.
Usually flax seed, when ground, doubles in size. So if you start with 1 tablespoon of unground flax seed, grind them, you would end up with around 2 tablespoons.

I use Barlean's Flax Oil with Lignans (www.barleans.com). I bought some seeds once, but didn't have an extra coffee grinder, so I cleaned out my coffee grinder to grind my seeds in, and it went fine (no coffee-flavored flax),but until I pick up another separate grinder, I can't be bothered having to clean out one coffee grinder all the time, between coffee beans and flax seeds. So the oil works for me, for now. It's great over air popped popcorn.
