Home-ground flaxseed should be frozen right after grinding. Flaxseed must be broken or ground to access its nutrition. Whole flaxseed mostly passes through the digestive tract undigested if eaten whole. Pre-ground flaxseed should ideally be nitrogen-packed and stored in the freezer after opening. A practical method is to freeze ground flaxseed in small portions and remove only what is needed. Ground flaxseed can go rancid quickly because of its high omega-3 content.
