Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Whole flax Seed

It is best to grind whole flax seed before feeding, less likely to come out
the same way it went in... whole. I grind it in a cheapo coffee grinder,
takes about 10 seconds to grind 1/4 to 1/3 cup. I personally wouldn't
consider cooking it as heat destroys the EFAs (along with some vitamins),
which for me is one of the many great reasons to feed flax seed.
