ground flax seed??

[Guest guest]

I've been thinking of introducing some ground flax seed to my diet

because I recently had jaw surgery and can't obtain the same benefits

from nuts just yet. I used to get an organic oatmeal that had whole

flax seeds in it and it was REALLY good-- then, of course, they

discontinued it. My question is, if I grind the flax seeds to mix with

something like oatmeal, will they have a bitter flavor? The whole seeds

tasted pretty good, but I read that ground seeds are a lot better for

you. I'm just wondering if it will be like grinding a pill-- tolerable

when whole, gag-inducing when crushed.

 

Thanks!!
