Note also that they need to be ground or crushed first (otherwise they will simply leave in the same state they came in) and once ground or crushed, they need to be kept refrigerated or they will oxidise.
You can buy ground flaxseeds in vacuum-packs (refrigerate after you break the seal). Just sprinkle it on things, or if you make something like turkey meatloaf or oatmeal pancakes, mix it in. Blend it into your shakes (makes them extra-thick). Heat doesn't affect flaxseed as it does some sources of EFAs, so you can cook or bake with it. What is this, everyone wants a pill, a supplement? Eat real food.

I add a table spoon of flax seed meal to my morning Oatmeal and also to my last meal shake (cottage cheese, almond butter, flax seed meal, 1 1/2 scoops of whey, 8 oz FF milk, stevia, and oatmeal).
Thickens things up a little and adds texure.
