Ground flax seed

Budwig's protocol called for good flax seed oil. Good flax seed oil is hard to make (manufacture well without destroying nutrients) and find and keep good.
If one grinds good quality whole flax seed in a blender (or coffee grinder), it completely pulverizes it, and I would imagine you ARE getting top quality flax seed OIL as well as everything else in a flax seed besides the oil. (Though it wouldn't resemble oil, but powder.) Seems to me to be a superior (and cheaper) way to get good flax seed oil. One would need to figure how much flax seed oil is in flax seed? Does 1 T. seed = 1 t. oil? Anyone have any idea?
I always prefer whole foods to food parts. So it just seems using whole flax seed, completely ground (so as to be easily digested) would be a great way to get flax seed oil. And you could easily mix (blend) the ground seed with cottage cheese....
Your thoughts?
Thanks,

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,179,581You need approximately 3 to one of the oil. I prefer the ground seeds but remember you must eat the ground seeds within ten minutes or they go rancid. I find that getting good quality oil is difficult. I live in Jordan and impossible here. Oil must be refrigerated after opening and each time the oil is exposed to sunlight it gets more spoiled so it should be in a dark bottle. I hear Trader Joe's has a good brand. I use labane which is the goat yogurt drained of all the whey and then I add back purified water to mix it thin. Then add the seeds and I love to add a banana.

Indeed, it is better to get flax seed oil direct from the source and that is with the use of freshly milled flax seed. Of course you can grind the kernels and refrigerate the granules to prevent its rancidity. If you want you can even buy the cold-milled types so you won't have to bother grinding the kernels. What's good about milled flax seed is that it not only contains prime Omega 3 nutrients but also dietary fibers that is found on the husk. Now dietary fibers are not available with flax seed oil.
Below is an interesting post on flax seed.

This is a reply to # 1,183,285dr budwig specifically says to eat within ten minutes or it becomes rancid, so sorry disagree with your ideals.

This is a reply to # 1,183,741Part of the Budwig protocol is to use ground flax seeds in addition to (and on top of) the flax seed oil/cottage cheese mix - and do that in the mornings. It's not either/or.
Also, it's incorrect that you can't get dietary fibre with flax seed oil. The lingans are fiber and you can get flax seed oil with a high lingan content with most brands of FSO.- Re: Ground flax seed mo123

This is a reply to # 1,201,760The true budwig diet is the oil but if acceptable oil is not available you can use flax seeds ground. In fact the moderator has told me to use the flax seeds instead of in my case I am over seas and no oils can be shipped. So where are you getting your oils from? Must be a local distributor or you are not getting quality oils.
Also the cottage cheese in the budwig diet in Germany is not the same as American cottage cheese and that is why yogurt is used.
