Flax is a notoriously unstable oil. Your ground flax seed is starting to
turn rancid within a 1/2 hr. of grinding. I used to do the same thing you do
now. Then I read one day how quickly ground flaxseeds/ the oil goes rancid.
Now I clean my grinder religiously after each grind.

Subject: [FlaxSeedOil2] Flax Oil Rancidity
I know that the freshness of the oil makes all the difference, so I grind
flax seed immediately before each use. I haven't been in the habit of
wiping out the grinder; I just shake/tap it as clean as I can. Do you think
that the meal left behind in the grinder contaminates the fresh seeds that
follow at the next use? If so, I guess I should be careful to completely
wipe the storage cup clean every time, yes?
