I read on yahoo that it is very good for you but your digestion system has a hard time digesting it because of the seed covering so they said to crush it or put it in a grinder then you can sprinkle it on anything before you eat it.

Flax seeds are small hard seeds that come from the flax plant. They are most often used to make oil. It has become very popular to eat because it is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. It doesn't really have any amazing culinary uses. It is really just added to things for it's health benefits. You can get a flax seed mill and grind it over foods, or you can add it to anything that has grains in it. A lot of natural food stores will have snacks with flax seed in it.
