Re: flax seeds/flax seed oil

Actually you don't want to keep any seeds in the refridgerator or especially the freezer. They develop moisture inside the seed and that will cause the seed to go bad when removed from the refrigerator and used.

What if one has a frost free freezer? I keep most of my spices and such in the freezer because it keeps them dessicated/moisture free. We have an overly damp home, lots of moisture running off walls and such.

NO! Frost free means it removes all the moisture in the air and everything is dried up. The water forms after the seeds are removed from the freezer. Ever wonder why some popcorn has so many unpopped kernels? (I know you don't but work with me here.) They will not pop if kept in any type of freezer. The moisture is actually already inside the seed in the correct proportion to its breed (can't think of a better word). When frozen that drop of water either disappears, no pop or it increases, no pop soggy kernels.

I keep almonds, walnuts, pinenuts, and any other high fat nut in the refrigerator but not for long.

I always keep a couple of ice cube trays filled in

my frost-free freezer, to just keep there, not to use. My theory is that the frost-free freezer

is removing water from the ice cubes, before it attacks all the food I have in

there that is wrapped up. When I see that the ice cubes are shrinking, I’ll

fill the tray back up. Or is the

freezer removing the moisture from everything all at the same time? That’s probably the case, isn’t

it. But it

seems like my ice shrinks quite quickly, but food in the freezer never seems to

dry out. What does anyone think

about this idea? Too

much of a waste of time, and space in the freezer?

Thanks so much for that info Shari, I've had a jar of flax seeds in my

frig for about a year! Guess I'd better through them out and get new

ones when I'm ready to use them.
