Common Mistakes When Cooking Flax Seeds
- ✕Don't eat whole flax seeds - grind them first for nutrient absorption
- ✕Store ground flaxseed in the fridge - it goes rancid quickly at room temp
- ✕Don't heat flaxseed oil - it's for cold use only (dressings, drizzling)
- ✕Grind only what you need - pre-ground flax loses nutrients faster
- ✕Don't skip the 'flax egg' rest time - it needs 5 minutes to gel
