To soak or not to soak?

Hi there,
I’ve been looking at flax cracker recipes. Some say to soak the seeds overnight then blend them… some say to soak them then just stir in with other ingredients… others not to bother to soak or blend them at all…. I’m wondering what to do… Any advice?

    I prefer the crackers with ground, unsoaked seeds. If I use them whole I soak them. They still don’t really break down in the processor though but they should be easier to digest.

    Hi Mush,
    I use unsoaked flax seeds for crackers, breads etc. It’s quite convenient, because you can add more water/liquid which helps the processing a lot (especially if you only have a weak blender, like me). And they absorb the liquid from your batter (as you let them dry etc…), so finally they kind of are soaked, your crackers are dry and firm and you had an easier time making them ;)
    Hope this helps.
