Flaxseed can be bought whole or ground. Below, we will discuss the main differences between the two forms so that you can choose the one that suits you best, depending on your personal tastes and preferences.
Ground flaxseed. This is the most recommended way of consuming flaxseed, as it is easier for our digestive system to assimilate it in ground form, making it easier to take advantage of all its benefits. You can also buy whole flaxseed and process it at home if you wish.
Whole flaxseed. Whole flaxseed has the same nutritional properties as the ground variant, but, as explained in the previous paragraph, it can be a little more difficult to digest and assimilate. However, either variant will provide you with enormous benefits.
