I have read that to get the most benefit from Flax Seeds, they should be ground in small quantities and kept in the refrigerator. I used to do this until the Braun Coffee Grinder I was using to grind flax seeds quit working. I did not use it for coffee but found it worked great for the flax seeds. I am suspicious that the oil from the flax seeds gummed up the mechanism and it stopped working and has gone to the garbage. What should I replace it with?
I have tried using my mini food processor and it does not do a very good job.
Any suggestions? A pestel and mortar seems "out of date".
For ease of use I think I'd try purchasing another coffee grinder. In order to clean my grinder a whir of uncooked rice does a good job of cleaning out excess oils and products.
You can also use a pepper mill but the time spent, and more coarse ground product seems to lessen the health benefit.
HTH!
