My designated spice(coffee) grinder does a perfect job on flax seeds. I have a small two cup container that I grind full and keep in the fridge. The whole seeds I keep in the cupboard. It's better to grind as you need it or just keep a small amount of ground as it's much better fresher.

They are really good and good for you. Check out some recipes on the net and usage on the net. I like the brown but the golden ones have a slightly milder flavor and don't darken things if you want a lighter color in you muffins or whathaveyou.
