Frequently Asked Questions

Should flax seeds be ground or eaten whole?

For the best nutrient absorption, it’s recommended to grind flax seeds before eating — whole flax seeds can pass through the digestive system largely intact, so grinding helps your body access the fibre, omega-3s and lignans more effectively.

How much flax seed should I eat per day?

A common amount is 1-2 tablespoons a day, added to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt or baked goods — it’s a concentrated source of fibre and omega-3s, so a small daily amount is usually enough.

How should flax seeds be stored, especially once ground?

Keep them in a cool, dry place in an airtight container — once ground, flax seeds are more prone to going rancid, so it’s best to refrigerate them and grind only what you plan to use soon.
