yes-- your body cannot digest them. grinding right before consuming is best, however, you can also buy preground in most stores. make sure you refrigerate the bag for best quality and to prevent the ground seeds from becoming rancid. flax oil is also good but needs to be refrigerated as well.

to add the smedley's post, whole flax seeds act as a mild laxitive.

coffee grinders are cheap and work well

 

[ketivnilloc]

i've just used a food processor. it works fine for me. although, it sometimes takes awhile for it to grind them all.

you can use a coffee grinder to grind them up.

or you can soak them for a while and then eat them whole.

 

[Eleni]

what does soaking them do? does it help them be digestible?

Soaking them turns them into vegan Gelatin

thanks for all your replies, I ended up buying a grinder it only cost 20$ canadian, so the cost was really no biggie
