O.k. since I'm new to this whole flax seed thing... and was just in shock this morning about flaxseed oil capsules and how many I would need to take to equal a tablespoon of regular oil. Can you expand a little bit on your knowledge about flax seeds? Why a grinder and not just have them unground? What's a good price to pay? What's the best kind to get? How much in a daily serving? What do you add them too for the best overall benefit? Thanks!

Well, as for the whole flax seed thing, I read that the body doesn't get as much benefit from the flax seeds when whole, thus grinding them is better....

I read these things were $20, but Amazon has them for $9.99.... some negative reviews, tho....

I buy from Trader Joe's ground flax meal, whole flax seeds & flax oil. I try to get some type of fat in just about every meal.....

Alrighty well I have a Trader Joe's and I still haven't been there... So this gives me a good reason to go in there now Thanks Jen.

Why not buy a bottle already cold pressed?

I dunno is it better then the ground? Jen was just saying we all need one of those... So I was assuming that it was better then the oil. I can get the oil.. or I can get both. Just trying to figure this out.

Having fresh ground flax is just a different way to have the flax.....

Always looking for ways to change up my way of eating...... And I don't like flax oil in everything....

 

[alycat]

yep cold pressed is the best.
Your body cannot digest flax seed on its own... flax seed bread... waste... just sits in your colon.

Well, instead of having flax oil in stuff, it's nice to have flax meal/ground seeds on top of oatmeal, in "pancakes" etc.... I don't always like how flax oil makes something taste.....
