Store flaxseed in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve its freshness and nutritional value. Ground flaxseed is more prone to spoilage, so it’s best to refrigerate or freeze it to extend its shelf life. Whole flaxseeds can last longer at room temperature but should still be kept away from heat and moisture.
