ground vs whole seeds?

like flaxseed or chia seeds both come grounded or whole ​ which one is better? ​ I think if you use the package right away - grounded ​ but if you plan to store them for a while - better to have them whole - and ground them your self - or chew them very well ... but more work ​ what do you think?

Answer

Yes, they will last longer when whole and some recipes call for them to be whole but I also buy grounded because I add it to my morning smoothie every day and wouldn’t want to grind it myself.When making tortillas or some breads, I have used whole ones. Also, if I want to use it on sauces or pasta, I rather use the whole seeds.
