Do you have to boil the seeds and/or blend them?

They recommended the flax seeds to my mother and she took the seeds and put it in the blender with 4oz of water and 4 oz of cranberry juice but she claims that the seeds were still too hard...

In a good health food staore, you can get it already ground up. Add it to everything, from breakfast ceral to batters and yogurt.

I take flax seed oil. I drink it then drink my morning juice or liquid vitamin right after. If I ever buy the seeds, I will put them on top of my oatmeal and also in my turkey meatloaf.

WEll my grandma puts hers in a food processor that way she absorbs more nutrients. And then she puts it in grape juice, it is really good! I personally like to just put the brown ones on my pancakes or in my oatmeal. You can grind them up, it keeps from them just passing through your body without you ever absorbing its nutrients. They sometimes do that becasue they are so small. I dont think you boil them.

I take the flaxseed oil capsules, one a day and it has significantly lowered my cholesterol. It's so much more convenient than putting the seeds on food.

what my mom does it puts it on her oatmeal and sometimes she will put it on her cold cereal that way they are not so hard! tell your mom that this will help her and good luck.
(BY THE WAY IT CAN ALSO PULL OUT POSION (LIKE OUT OF SPIDERBITES IF YOU MIX IT WITH WATER AND HEAT AND PUT IT ON YOUR SKIN AND PUT A BANDAID OVER IT)
