Flax meal isn’t affected by cold or heat from cooking. A cousin of mine didn’t refrigerate hers and it got wormy. I keep mine in the fridge with a second bag in the freezer.
My son is majoring in plant genetics at Michigan State University. I sent him this article. Right now he is finishing up his Fellowship for the American Society of Plant Biologists. He researching Atropa Belladonna and trying to fill in gaps in various stages and or parts of the plant so that we can make synthetic drugs. This is why some medicines are so expensive, because they are derived from plants, because we don’t know to make them ourselves.
It isn’t the area he wants to stay in though. He last mentioned an interest in barley.
Thanks for the information. The milled flax I have always kept in the fridge. Interestingly I have always had a passion for plants. I’m thinking of going back to school and getting a graduate degree in botany/agriculture, but am not sure if I feel like making the commitment. I may just have to continue reading what I find and become a farmer, like my progenitors, haha.
