So it’s actually the oil that are in them that are of benefit.

Unfortunately, I had been just adding whole flax seeds to my yogurt and other foods, but unless you really grind up or chew everything really well you don’t get much use.

So the best way to use them is to use a blender, or a mortal and pestle and get the oil and them put them in items.
