What is ground flax seed?
Well it is also called flax seed meal, and is the name given to whole flax seeds that have been put through a grinder to turn them into a rough power form. It is easy then to sprinkle them on your cereals, salads, soups etc. To buy flax seeds in their whole seed form is cheaper and you need to grind down what you need and when you need. You can buy flax in its ground form which offers convenience as you just open the packaging and sprinkle on your food but you have to use up your supply reasonable quickly because it has a short shelf life.
