Whole Flaxseed

We often talk about the great benefits of having flaxseed in your diet but did you know that it is also an extremely versatile ingredient and can be consumed in three ways – milled (or ground), whole faxseed or as flaxseed oil.  This often results in the following question – what is the best way to eat flaxseed?  Well, when it comes to eating flaxseed, most people will opt for a milled or whole form of the seed, as the oil (also known as linseed oil) is best used in cooking in place of oils like sunflower and olive oil.  So with this in mind, we thought we would take a look at the differences in milled flaxseed and whole flax seed.
