How to store your flax seeds oil

HOW TO PROPERLY STORE FLAX SEED Flaxseed can be purchased as whole seeds or as ground flaxseed. Since the whole seeds are difficult tO chew, they should be milled/crushed. This also improves their absorption. The whole flax seeds can be stored for 6- 12 months, enclosed in an airtight container and placed in a dark, cool and dry place. Buy whole flax seeds, to store them as described above and to grind/crush them before consumption. Flaxseed oil easily turns rancid and should be always bought in opaque bottles and stored in the refrigerator.
