Raw seed crackers

Hi.
I have been making ground raw/dehydrated seed "crackers" and notice even in the fridge they turn rancid way quicker than whole seeds.

Why is this?

I don't make crackers or dehydrate for that matter but I would guess it has to do with the grinding of the seeds and the resulting exposure to oxidation. I wonder if its possible to make the crackers without grinding the seeds ?

Are they really rancid or just turned into seed cheese?

My guess is that if the crackers are "dehydrated" then the recipe might possibly have called for soaking the seeds.. when they are soaked they expend a lot of enzymes getting ready to sprout (and grow).. leaving them in a vulnerable state where they must grow or perish. Grinding them at that point and then dehydrating them would leave them in a raw state, but subject to further enzymatic activity and the above mentioned oxidation both causing spoilage, just an idea.

Great input folks.
Thanks.
They just start smelling foul.

I dont know,other than to maybe soak the seeds first.
But might end up just dehydrating veggies and fruits,and eating seeds whole.
