How to Grind Flax Seed

In this short video I demonstrate how simple it is to use a "coffee" grinder to grind golden flax seeds, a very healthy food. Flax seed is a great source of omega 3 fats (the good fats) and can be added to many foods.

Nice video, very informative. We used a blender, but I want a dedicated machine. Which coffee grinder can you recommend? Thanks!

@scotthamptonshoots My coffee grinder is a Black & Decker, cost around $15. Yes, you don't want to grind coffee and flax seeds (or other seeds) with the same grinder. Lynn

@TheRogueMonk I suggest you grind the seeds and add to other foods you're eating, like smoothies, salad, oatmeal, etc. I have several videos on my website for making smoothies at healthy habits etc dot com then click on how-to-videos. Just be creative and add to any and everything you can! At least once a day.

@lsalter95 so how can i really eat flax seeds and sesame seeds? do i use a blender such as coffy blender and then add milk ? i really need vegerian guidelines and help!

@lsalter95 Thank you kindly. I'll take a look for one today. It'll be used solo, I don't drink coffee :)

@TheRogueMonk Yes, they pretty much remain whole. Help with elimination but you don't get the nutritional essence like with the ground seeds.

@lsalter95 i red somewhere that if you dont grind flax seed then you will not digest it? is this wrong? 

[lsalter95]

@TheRogueMonk

Yes you can. The ground flax seeds provide more nutritional value than the whole seed.  I sue whole sesame seeds in my homemade bread and granola

@TheRogueMonk

You can use a blender. I put flax seeds in all the smoothies I make so you'd just put the whole seeds in the blender first and grind them.
