This may be stating the obvious BUT:
I bought a large packet of linseed, I prefer the seeds to the oil because I am trying to cut down on fat, also linseed is a good source of omega 3 etc usually found in oily fish that we are always being told to eat:(
The guy in the health food store asked me how I was eating them and I said I just sprinkle them on salad. He said that is worse than useless as they just go straight through the digestive system without being absorbed properly.
He suggested putting them in the coffee grinder, grinding them up to a flour like consistency then adding to flour, breakfast cereal or whatever - brilliant!
I wish all health food shop owners were as helpful as him:)
I may do that to all the tiny seeds we eat to obtain maximum nutrition from them.
