Buying & storing

  • Whole seeds are cheaper; grind small batches in a coffee grinder as you need them
  • It is sometimes labelled linseed, which is the same thing and often costs less
  • Health-food refill bins usually undercut the branded pouches

Keep it well: Ground flaxseed oxidises quickly, so keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge and use within a month.
