Do flaxseeds need to be crushed/milled?

Or you can grind them all at once, then keep the powder in an air-tight container or plastic bag in the freezer.

I grind a few servings at a time and then place the extra contents in an airtight container in the fridge..seems to work fine..do I need to freeze if I'm using the milled flax in about a week?

ground flax seeds will get oxidised quickly (just like the oil gets rancid)
