Are there any nutritional differences between milled (ground) and whole flax seed?
You will get maximum benefits from a seed that is ground immediately before eating. Whole seeds that are not chewed completely tend to pass through the body with less nutritional benefit, however, whole seeds are great in recipes, i.e. breads, cookies, salads, yogurts and cereals. Flax seed that is sold pre-ground is exposed to air and loses its potency very quickly.
