How people cook with it
- Sprinkled on yogurt
- Mixed into oatmeal
- Added to baked goods
- Blended into smoothies
For optimal absorption of nutrients, it is often recommended to grind flaxseeds before consumption. This can be done using a coffee grinder or a high-powered blender. Ground flaxseeds can then be stirred into morning oatmeal, yogurt, or incorporated into pancake and muffin batters. Whole flaxseeds can be used in some baking recipes where their texture is desired, or they can be added to bread dough.
How it differs from similar foods
Whole flaxseeds are harder and less digestible than ground flaxseeds. Grinding breaks down the tough outer shell, making the nutrients more accessible. This difference in texture and nutrient availability is a key consideration when choosing how to use them in cooking.

To maintain freshness, store Nadia Flaxseed in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. For longer storage, keeping them in the refrigerator or freezer can help preserve their quality and prevent them from becoming rancid. Ensure the container is sealed to protect them from moisture and light.
