I use a simple coffee grinder to grind both my flax seeds and milk thistle

seeds.

 

For the milk thistle, I steep 1 tablespoon in just finished boiling hot

water for about 15 minutes and make an infusion. However I have also been

adding straight ground milk thistle to blender drinks. I'm not sure if it

is as effective without the heat or soaking.

 

Buying whole milk thistle seed is VERY economical compared to the capsules.

Hi Vicki.

 

Milk thistle seeds do not taste bad. you can just chew up a few as is, and save

time and money on gel caps. If you grind up a batch, they will lose freshness.

I just eat 3 or 4 seeds each day. They are large enough to be chewed.

This seems the most economical and trustworth (iykwim) way. But I have never

seen the seeds before and I don't know if a coffee grinder will do the trick.

TIA,

Vicki
