Flax seed meal is ground flax seeds. If you're purchasing the meal, store it in the refrigerator and use as soon as possible. The omega-3 fatty acids in flax seeds will go rancid much faster once the seed has been ground, which decreases the health benefits for you and tastes worse. I suggest keeping flax seeds on hand and grinding them as you need them. Coffee grinders or spice grinders are perfect for the job.
