Ground vs Whole Flaxseeds: Which is Better for Health?

Flaxseeds are tiny seeds packed with good stuff.

You can buy them whole or ground up.

Ground flaxseeds are better because your body can easily use all the nutrients.

Whole flaxseeds have a hard outer shell, so your body has trouble breaking them down.

Think of it like this: ground flaxseeds are like sprinkles, ready to be eaten, while whole flaxseeds are like seeds in a fruit that you can't digest easily.

You can add ground flaxseeds to your food and store them in the fridge to keep them fresh.

Whole flaxseeds can be stored at room temperature.
