Can you mix flax rounded flax seeds with chia seeds

 
You always want to grind flax seeds.  If they are not ground, they cannot be digested and they pass right through your system with no benefit.  I use a coffee grinder but I've been known to use the food processor as well.

Yes, you can mix flax and chia.  I do it often.  I generally add about 2 tablespoons (more or less depending on how large a recipe) to baked goods.  Chia can have a strong flavor if you over do it.  The stronger the flavor of the end product, the more you can include.  For example, for regular bread I use less than if I am making a cinnamon bread.  You will learn as you play around with it.
