whole flax seed or flax seed oil?

[dontsurfonmytur]

Is there a diff in the benefits? I just want to start getting the oil because when i put the whole flax seed in my shake, it gives it a rough texture, and i dont like that. so after im done wtih my bag, thinking of getting the oil?? ANy differences of benefit between the oil and the whole flax seed?

I think seed it better. I used to grind the seeds in a coffee grinder. I'd put a tbsp in my mouth and just chug water.

If using flax I suggest seeds - it gives you the fibre, protein, vit/minerals and other good things that are not in the oil.

You are better off using olive oil if you want an oil... Then using fishies and real foods to get your omega-3 and omega-6 fats.
