Is it necessary to grind the seed?

You’ll also score 2 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber per tablespoon. Because the outer hull is so tough, you really want to grind flaxseeds before eating to make sure your body is able to digest the nutrients. You can simply do this in an electric coffee grinder

Chia seeds do not need to be ground for absorption, unlike flax, which must be ground before eating it.

Flax seeds are rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, fibre, and protein. However, whole flax seeds don’t fully break down in your gut, so it’s best to eat them ground to reap the most nutritional benefit. Using a coffee grinder is the easiest, most convenient way to grind flax seeds.
