Ooh ooh I forget to tell you how to consume them.
Very easy storage in an airtight container if brought whole but when to consume don't consume a handful,grind them first and then consume but be carefully as contact with air makes it in effective.And if grinder in bulk ooh no no.
So, the best way is to buy them in sprouted form in any combination in small packets and to consume them packet by packet.DON'T GIVEN THEM OPEN.
Sported form of flaxseeds is best as it eliminates phytochemical acid and greatly increases it's mineral absorption.
And flaxseeds also REDUCES EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION AS WELL.
GOOD LUCK ON THE PATH OF HEALTHY LIVING.
