I have seen people use it without grinding it first, seems to me that you better chew it very well if you use them whole I always grind them first

The big difference between taking milled flaxseed and whole flaxseed involves the digestion of the seeds. Flaxseed is a great source of fibre and whole flax seeds pass right through your body without being digested, meaning your body will miss out on most of the great benefits that come from the seeds. When it comes to the digestion of whole and milled flaxseeds, fibre plays a big role, and this is why milled flaxseeds are easier for your body to digest than whole flax seeds.
There are two types of fibre – soluble and insoluble. While milled flaxseed provides your body with the benefits of both soluble and insoluble fibres, whole flax seeds only provides you with insoluble fibre due to its outer shell. It is the role of the insoluble fibre that makes whole flaxseeds simply pace through your digestive system, aiding regular bowel movements. When flaxseeds are cold milled, your body can look forward to enjoying the many benefits that are released thanks to the soluble fibre contained within the seed. These benefits include protein, iron and Omega 3 oil.
