Flax seeds need to be ground for consumption in order to fully benefit from their nutrients, as the whole seeds may pass through the digestive system without being fully digested.

Shall you eat whole or ground sesame seeds?

I think it doesn't matter but if you eat whole flax seeds you have to chew them well. The outside of flax seed is too hard to break apart by chewing and whole flax seed is not properly digested to get out the nutrients. The recommendation is to use either flax seed oil to use already ground flax seed.

What is the best way to eat flax seed?

Flax seeds can be eaten whole, ground or as flax oil.

How do you eat flax seed?

Flax seeds must be finely ground into a meal to get the maximum benefits from the omega-3 oil and dietary fiber. You can use a coffee grinder and dedicate its use to grinding flax seeds. Once ground, the flax seeds should be consumed quickly, because the oil in the seeds oxidizes rapidly. Try to consume 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed daily, and make sure you drink plenty of water when adding flax seed to your diet. Ground flax seed can easily be mixed into salad dressing, or added on top of dishes including salads, stir-fry, soup, stews, and cereal. Flax seeds are 35-40% oil, so a similar amount of oil may be omitted from any recipe requiring oil that also includes ground flax seeds. Similarly, about 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds steeped in 3 tablespoons of warm water for 2-3 minutes will substitute for one egg in recipes.
