When you say they need to be ground to get any benefit - is that including the protein and carbs?
I was making a porridge type stuff most days out of flax seed and ground almonds, but I've changed over to grinding the flax seeds - I'm doing it the night before and keeping them in an airtight tub in the fridge to throw in the back of the car first thing in the morning - I go to the gym, then eat the porridge when I get to work.
When they're ground it seems harder to eat that as seeds.... I was using 100g (which is about 4oz) of seeds for porridge, but 50g (about 2oz) of meal seems a bit of a struggle....
