HOW TO MAKE FLAX MEAL FROM FLAXSEEDS

Why would you want to learn how to make flax meal using whole flax seeds? Because Flax seed is an outstanding nutritional food source.

What isn’t well known is that whole flaxseeds are difficult to digest and its nutrients are poorly absorbed.

Store bought bags of flax meal or flax powder can go rancid quickly, so it’s best to grind whole flaxseeds in small batches at a time with your powerย blender, or grind for a specific recipe rather than buy flax meal in bulk.

Because flax meal can quickly go rancid, it’s better to buy whole flax seeds. You can store them for up to a year in an airtight container โ€“ preferably in the freezer.

We like to store ours in a ziploc bag in the freezer, and they certainly never last too long in our test kitchen!

Ground flaxseed can be utilized best sprinkled in smoothies, over cereal and salads, and as an ingredient in bread, pasta, baked desserts, etc.

  1. Hi –

    I store flaxseeds in the freezer and live in a very humid environment. So when I pour the seeds into the Vitamix dry container water condenses on the seeds, so I only get a moist, coarse meal – never a powder. Any suggestions?

    Also what is the maximum volume of seeds you would grind in a Vitamix dry container? 1 cup? 2 cups?
    Thanks

      Hi Jean! I wouldn’t do more than 2 cups at a time. Regarding the flaxseeds – you might consider vacuum blending with a VOID Vitamix Retrofit kit. I’m not sure how else to avoid the humidity. Sorry, wish I could help more! ~Tarashaun

    Amazing! Thanks for this quick and straight-forward video and how-to recipe. I was given whole flax seeds by mistake in my grocery order and happy to discover I can easily grind them myself. I used my NinjaChef blender for 30 seconds on the “flour/mill” setting. Thanks again!

    1. Awesome April! So glad you found us AND thank you for sharing how your Ninja Chef blender grind flax seeds ๐Ÿ™‚ ~ Tarashaun
