If seeds are being blended into milkshake, should they constituted prior?

No. I don't believe doing that will enhance the nutritional value of the seeds. As far as taste goes. They are great right out of the bag.

No, but the will change the consistency of your smoothie rapidly if you don't. It will become thicker and more gelatinous. I typically add the chia seeds at the end, after blending.

I strongly recommend thoroughly grinding the flax seed prior to using in a smoothie. Also, please note that the ground flax seed tends to thicken liquids so additional fluid may be required to achieve your preferred consistency.

Hi there I've used these seeds before, they seem to be slightly washed but not to a great extent, I find its hit and miss some batches are processed very well others are dirty and earthy, I would round up by saying that they are natural and have had little washing.

I ground flaxseeds once. It packed up in the bottom, so one would need to stir it up a bit. Also warmed the flax, so you wouldn't do it a long time, because it's a powerful machine. It warms up. Blended soup can be warmed this way.

No! You turn the top & add seed, it's not complicated. That is for cleaning purposes.

I have cooked it rinsed and unrinsed and notice no difference. It's a pain to wash and strain, since the seeds are so small. It tastes GREAT either way!

yes, shake first everytime as the sesame seeds tend to float to the top. and you'll love it, just don't use too much at one time

The order I placed was for a container of mixed seeds, so I make sure to stir the container each time to get a good mix in my Tablespoon of seeds for my sprouting jar.

Neither. It's seed ground up but not in powder format. It's kind of like small bits. Still drinkable or I also like it with my protein shakes.

Yes sir! I only mixed it once with milk, the rest of the time it was water. It's got a slightly chunky (tiny pieces of product) consistency, but that's the BCAA crystals I believe. You should be all good!

This is not a blender--it is a masher. You mash foods that are already soft into a paste that is safe for a baby to consume.

I just pour seeds into a gallon re-sealable container and stir seeds with a small garden trowel. Did not have much luck shaking to mix

'Mixture,' 'mix,' or 'mixed' means seed consisting of more than one kind or variety or both, each in excess of 5 percent by weight of the whole.

I have never had a problem with "mixing" it, although I've only done it in a blender with fruits, and not just shaken it up manually. The taste is fine. Sorry but I did not read any of the reviews you refer to. Vanilla is an option if you're concerned about liking the unflavored one.

When using for the first time, there's no need to wash the bean as it would hurt some of the flavor. Also, when using a whole bean, you usually scrape out all of the oily seeds from the inside to use in your recipe.When using the bean for custard or cream, scrape the seeds out, and add them to the milk/cream together with the pods. After you remove the pods you can wash and dry them and use again for a light vanilla aroma, such as in scented sugar.Bottom line - I wouldn't wash the beans before using for the first time.
