Flaxseeds contain heart-healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) including omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).

Pre-ground ones are exposed to oxygen longer, which causes the PUFAs to breakdown and become rancid ₍₍ (̨̡ ‾᷄ᗣ‾᷅ )̧̢ ₎₎. You can detect this by its off smell/flavour.

So the best way is to buy whole flaxseeds and grind only what you need with a coffee grinder. It's probably cheaper to buy whole flaxseeds than packages pre-ground ones. Remember, wholesome is awesome! HappyHumpDay everyone ◡̈⃝！

About author

The aim of this blog is to clarify any false notions and misconceptions that circulate in the general public about health and wellness. I will draw from existing research literature, basically doing all the dirty work, and present to you my viewpoint based on empirical evidence. I can in turn familiarise myself with the most recent literature as a nutritionist and keep myself up-to-date with the latest insights. I will cover food, fitness and health-related topics, in hopes to inspire and motivate every reader and myself to either start or maintain a holistic and healthy lifestyle.
