My MIL has used her coffee grinder for them and she has a normal (not a fancy, expensive) coffee grinder. <br /><br />Up until now, I have had to buy already ground flax. You can keep it better in the refrigerator. But we are still loosing nutrients. SO we are going to be getting the whole from now on!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220363100904875087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154155197978226302.post-48249313519352702892010-05-03T23:51:05.913-04:002010-05-03T23:51:05.913-04:00Oprah had a show a while back that they talked abo...Oprah had a show a while back that they talked about how good flax seed was for you. I had never even heard of flax until that show.<br />How do you grind your seeds do you have a grain mill? Do you think a coffee grinder would work?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154155197978226302.post-81690505316955353552010-05-03T18:43:18.942-04:002010-05-03T18:43:18.942-04:00I've just started doing this in the last week ...I've just started doing this in the last week or so!! You definitely can't tell and I've read nothing but good things too!!<br /><br />I didn't realize it had that much fiber!! Double win!!<br /><br />Another thing I've started to add is wheat bran... It has 7 g. fiber per 1/4 cup (double whole wheat flour) Check into it, it also is very hard to tell it's there!<br /><br />I added 1/2 cup wheat bran and 1/2 cup ground flax to my grandmother bread this morning. I then used high gluten flour and it was beautiful!!<br /><br />love these little secrets!!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901812636193091749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154155197978226302.post-75013877891703424282010-05-03T17:50:42.058-04:002010-05-03T17:50:42.058-04:00Anonymous- Actually, not an Oprah fan, plus we do...Anonymous- Actually, not an Oprah fan, plus we don't have TV channels.<br /><br />Amy- I have only heard about flax losing nutrients when it has been ground for a while. But that IS something to look into! If you find anything out, let me know. All I have read says baking with flax seed is good for you... but it WOULD be interesting to see if it is only the oil or not.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220363100904875087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154155197978226302.post-51905759574819607482010-05-03T16:44:06.699-04:002010-05-03T16:44:06.699-04:00Has somebody been watching Oprah?Has somebody been watching Oprah?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154155197978226302.post-36437624468595548092010-05-03T14:37:52.032-04:002010-05-03T14:37:52.032-04:00Sarah, I've heard something about not heating ...Sarah, I've heard something about not heating flax seed oil. Is this only for the oil? I've avoided adding ground flax seed to baked goods because I thought it would loose it's nutrient value.
