Q: Should flax seeds be eaten whole or cracked?
A: Both are used. Whole seeds add crunch and texture, while cracked seeds tend to blend more easily into foods.

Q: Why do flax seeds become gel-like when soaked?
A: They naturally contain mucilage, which thickens in contact with water.

Q: How should flax seeds be stored?
A: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong odours and moisture.
