What is better, nutritionally?
I read that the body cannot digest whole flax seed so it should be ground before soaking. If that is the case, can the body digest flax seed that is soaked but not ground?
Personally, I prefer soaking the seeds and eating them with the moist, gel-like substance around them. Grinding manually seems to be hard work, although I have never tried. And I don't like to use blenders and other such equipment. I don't have concrete reasons for this, but they just feel artificial and seem to involve the wrong kind of prana.

Crushing is helpful but not necessary. But the best crusher is your teeth and saliva mixing is a big help in digestion, well, for everything we eat. I put soaked flawed seeds in my kefir and chew them with all the fruits. Some do come out whole as is from the other end, but most seeds work that way. Life's one symbiotic process is designed that way.
I also use crushed flax seeds in a small mill, but that has to be consumed within 20 minutes because it goes rancid fast.
I am so thrilled with your convictions of not using machines. I love it. One day I may get to your stage and live without machines.

This is a reply to # 2,285,818Thank you Archus. Someone on the rawfoodsupport.com forum suggested that I sprout flax seeds. Perhaps I will give it a try although I've heard it's a tough process.
Living without machines - well that's a bit far from where I am but yes, I have, over the years, sensed that technology has an impact on my consciousness, and usually it is in the direction of making it attenuated, weaker, dull. So I prefer to avoid phones and TV, and use my hands and feet when I can instead of using machines like blenders or even cars. It's not so easy.
