Grinding Flax Seeds into Flaxseed Meal

Ground-up Flax seed (or flaxseed meal) has a nutty flavor and goes well with cereal, salad, smoothies, etc.

Grinding flaxseeds is super easy with the Magic Bullet, which is actually small sized blender. It comes with two blades, and the flat blade is used for chopping grinding. When you put a tablespoon of flaxseed in the magic bullet it only takes about 10 seconds to grind them into flaxseed meal. Then just pour that on top of a bowl of cereal, or atop a nice salad. This is a great way to add more healthy Omega-3 fats to your diet.

Note: Be sure to consume your ground flaxseed within about 15 minutes after grinding it, because it will begin to oxidize when it hits the air, and it will go rancid (at which point it is no longer a healthy food).

Grinding the flaxseed is the very last step I take when preparing a meal, so that I can add it immediately before eating the food.
