Best move
Grind only the serving you plan to use now. FreshFlax is built around small dry batches, not bulk meal prep.
Direct answer for stale-ground-flax questions
How should you store ground flaxseed?
The FreshFlax answer is simple: store whole flaxseed when you can, grind a small dry serving when you need it, and keep any extra ground flax cold in an airtight container.

Practical answer
Storage is the backup plan. Fresh grinding is the habit.
Mayo Clinic notes that ground flaxseed is generally easier to digest than whole flaxseed. FreshFlax keeps that practical: grind what you will actually use, then avoid letting a large jar of ground flax sit around.
If you grind extra
Move it into a clean airtight container, keep it cold, and use it soon.
Fridge or freezer
Use the refrigerator for short-term convenience and the freezer when you need more time.
Watch for spoilage
If it smells sharp, paint-like, bitter, or stale, do not try to rescue it with a smoothie.
Better than a storage jar
Match storage advice to the food you already make.
Breakfast spoonful
Grind 1-2 tablespoons, add to oats or yogurt, and skip storage entirely.

Smoothie add-in
Pulse the dry serving before blending. Store the whole seeds, not a big jar of ground flax.

Flax eggs
Grind the recipe amount before mixing with water so the batch hydrates evenly.
