I've know for years that flax seeds have many awesome health benefits (thanks university nutrition class!), however what I didn't know until recently is that you should stay away from whole flax seeds. The body is unable to breakdown the whole seed and therefore doesn`t reap all of the benefits that flax has to offer. The alternative - purchase ground flax seeds or flax seed oil instead. You can even grind up your own in a coffee grinder.

I wonder if someone posts on your blog - are you notified?
We use self-ground flax seeds - on yogurt, in pancakes, muffins, etc. - or mixed with honey and cinnamon and spread on toast -
I wasn't until today - now I will get an email to let me know.
