Unless you are going to use the flax seed rather quickly it should be stored in the refrigerator. Flax seed's wonderful oils are prone to rancidity if left at room temperature for too long a period of time. I always store my flours, nuts and seeds in the fridge and freezer to prevent rancidity. You'll know it when you smell it. It's like opening a bag of crackers that's been in your pantry for 7 months and they smell beyond stale, they smell rancid. Yuck! Protect your Omega 3 oils in that flax by keeping it cool. :)

Shall you eat whole or ground sesame seeds?

The outside of flax seed is too hard to break apart by chewing and whole flax seed is not properly digested to get out the nutrients. The recommendation is to use either flax seed oil to use already ground flax seed.
