flax seed

I want to add some flax seed to my diet. I am surprised my little chopper won't crack the whole seeds. What appliance would I use? I'd rather buy whole and chop or grind every few days. Thanks.

Have you tried pepper or mill type coffee grinders?

I have a small 1 cup container that fits on the top of my blender. It grinds my flax seed easily. I usually grind up enough for a month or so and store it in my freezer for easy use and to keep it from going rancid once ground.

I use my little coffee grinder. It works very well. I top my oatmeal with ground flax seed every morning.
