I have been buying ground flaxseed from the supermarket for a while now. This particular product is cheaper although in inferior packaging. Especially ground flaxseed oxidizes easily and requires careful storage, in an airtight container and basically in the fridge/freezer. The buyer of this particular product should pay attention to what is stated on the packaging, that this product cannot be consumed raw, but only sprinkled on food. In contrast, what I buy from the supermarket states that it can also be used in salads. Therefore, the production process of this particular product takes place under conditions that do not ensure its safe consumption without thermal processing. I probably wouldn't buy it again. Rather, in the future I will prefer to buy whole seeds and grind them myself in the blender as I already do with chia.
