A member asked:

Heard that heat can reduce flax seed's nutri benefits,that's why it is cold milled by manufacturers.so will boiling it in porridge reduce its benefit?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Products such as Flax Seeds should be stored in the refrigerator to prevent rancidity. You can grind whole flax seeds and sprinkle them on your already prepared porridge.
