This shows the amazing health benefits of seeds. We all know they are packed with health promoting properties but sometimes it’s hard to remember exactly what they are....

Top of the pile for me are flax seeds. Getting excellent omega-3 levels is so important for just about everything and flax seeds are the best source. Flax seeds need to be ground (eg in coffee grinder) otherwise the body cannot digest them. I am working towards a tablespoon daily.

Well that’s good to know as I have ground most of my flax seeds ready for flax eggs if I am baking and thought I shouldn’t have ground them all but now I know I’ve done the right thing! 😀

I've started grinding my own flaxseeds too. Before I was buying them pre-ground but I understand these can go rancid once opened if one's not too careful.
