Ground Flaxseed vs. Whole Flaxseed FAQ
Most experts recommend ground over whole flaxseed. The ground version is easier to digest and grinding makes more of the nutrients available.
One of the health benefits of flaxseed is its fiber content. One tablespoon of flaxseed has 2g of polyunsaturated fatty acids and 2g of fiber.
Flaxseed is commonly used to improve digestion and relieve constipation.
Flaxseed may help lower LDL or bad cholesterol levels which may reduce heart problems.
How to Store Ground Flaxseed
- Store in an air-tight container. Ground flaxseed goes bad faster than whole flaxseed.
- Store at room temperature in a cool dry cabinet.
- For a large amount of flaxseed store it in a zip bag in the refrigerator for six months or you can place it in the freezer for up to a year.
