Introduction

A lot of people don’t know that the seeds are an incredibly powerful source of nutrition for your body. Here’s how to make sure you’re getting the most out of them.

Buy good seeds — the kind that are usually more expensive but are worth it.

When you buy seeds, look for ones that are organic or heirloom and not genetically modified. They should also be non-irradiated and untreated with pesticides or chemical treatments.

If you’re unsure about whether a seed is treated or coated, ask your seed vendor if the seeds were treated or coated with anything prior to selling them to customers. If they are unsure of what was used, then ask them if they can find out for you, but beware: some companies may try their best to avoid answering this question because they don’t want you buying from competitors who do use healthy ingredients in their products!

And remember: just because it says “organic” doesn’t mean everything else has been left out of the process — so always check for yourself before buying!

Grinding them in a food processor

The most common method of grinding seeds is in a food processor. You can use a regular food processor, but it will take longer. If you have a high-performance blender, that’ll work just fine too!

• High-performance blenders (like Vitamix) are better at grinding seeds than food processors because they’re able to reach higher speeds and don’t have as many attachments as standard blenders do, allowing them to spin faster without stopping or clogging up with food particles.
• Mortar and pestle: If you want something more old school, or if you just want to try something new, blending your own seed butter for the first time might be easier than using one of the above methods because there aren’t any parts that may break down over time from frequent use (which happens when using an electric grinder). In addition to this being more environmentally friendly compared to buying pre-made nut butters from stores like Whole Foods Market®, it also allows for creative freedom when choosing which type of nuts/seeds/spices should go into making your favorite flavor combinations!

Grinding them with a high performance blender

The next step is to grind the seeds. You can use a high-performance blender like the Vitamix or Blendtec Pro Series 750, but you may want to consider using your regular household blender if you don’t have access to those tools. The key is having a strong enough motor that will grind hard seeds without overheating or burning out. When grinding, always hold down the lid with a rag so it doesn’t pop off and spray hot oil everywhere (you’ll thank me later).

After grinding, it’s important to keep your hands clean as well as all surfaces involved in preparing your food until after you’ve cooked it—especially when dealing with raw meat or fish. Oil from raw foods can contaminate other foods and cause illness if not cleaned up right away! Also make sure that you wash all equipment used for grinding before using them again—this includes any plates/bowls used under your knife while cutting open seed packets!

Grinding them between two stones

• Using a mortar and pestle can be time-consuming, but it’s also the most satisfying way to grind organic seeds. If you have a mortar and pestle set already, use them! These sets are available online and in many stores that sell kitchenware. If you don’t have anything like this in your home, here are some tips on how to find one:
• Go to an antique shop or flea market if you’re able to find one nearby. The older the better—the stone will be harder and less likely to break under pressure from your grinding action as opposed to newer ones that may crumble away during use.
• Check out thrift stores for bargains; even if an item is missing parts (like a lid), it could still work well for grinding up small batches of seed flour!

Using an electric grinder

• Buy an electric grinder and use it to grind the seeds. You can buy one for less than $20 at your local hardware or kitchen store, or Amazon has a good selection of electric seed-grinding machines that cost between $20-$60 (depending on what size you want). If you don’t have an electric coffee grinder lying around, try asking friends and family if they do—it’s likely someone will lend it to you until yours arrives in the mail.
• Grind your seeds with the coffee grinder following these instructions: Pour out 2 tablespoons of ground coffee into your regular mug; add hot water; let sit for 5 minutes and then pour through a fine mesh sieve into another cup before drinking or adding to smoothie/coffee/tea etc… A lot of people like the taste better when made this way too!
• Cleaning up after? For most models, all that is required is rinsing out with warm water and drying completely before storing away safely until next time – but here are some other tips from our friends at Food 52: “If there’s any oil left over from cooking something like popcorn–which also happens frequently around here!–we’ll soak up any remaining grease with paper towels before washing otherwise clean parts.”

Seeds that you personally grind have a higher chance of being beneficial to your health.

When you grind your own seed, you can be sure that the ingredients in your recipe are fresh and high quality. The fresher the ingredient, the more likely it is to be beneficial to your health. Additionally, since every seed’s flavor profile varies from plant to plant and season to season (and sometimes even from year to year), grinding your own seeds allows for a much greater degree of customization than purchasing pre-ground seeds would allow. You’ll also save money by being able to buy cheap whole grains like brown rice or quinoa at the bulk food store instead of buying expensive pre-packaged whole grain flour products made with refined grains like white flour or enriched wheat flour.

You’ll find that grinding your own seed is actually quite fun! Grinding many types of grain will require a blender or food processor—which means there will be plenty of opportunities for everyone in the family to participate in preparing dinner together—and while they’re helping out with preparing dinner they’ll also get a healthy dose of exercise in because these machines require quite a bit more effort than using an electric mixer does!

Conclusion

When you grind your own seeds, you don’t have to worry about them going rancid or losing their freshness. And if you choose varieties of seeds that are rich in nutrients, the benefits are even greater. Plus, the process is fun and satisfying! Who wouldn’t want to feel like a caveman taking care of his family? Even if grinding isn’t your thing, it’s worth trying at least once. You might just develop an appreciation for this timeless practice—and maybe even a newfound love for flax seeds!
