Hemp seed
I have a bag of hemp seed (from France) that I don't know what to do with. I looked online at various recipes and they're apparently full of nutrients but there's all sorts of conflicting advice. One site talks about cooking them, another says on no account should they be cooked because they become carcinogenic! One site says they must be washed so that the seeds float and the grit falls to the bottom, another, that they must be washed in a seive. There's talk of eating them raw as snacks but I can see that they're hard as hell. Anyone used them before? Or should I feed them to the birds?

from my friend Elly who can't work out how to comment on this yet: ;-)
>I have only eaten them in hemp seed bars (yummy) and sprinkled on top of crumbles along with flax and other seeds (works for savoury and sweet). So I have cooked mine and eaten them raw! Being small I don't think that their being hard is a drawback ...
oh thanks for that Simon/Elly. I was a bit worried for my teeth! I think they might still have their shells on, cos they do seem very hard indeed. I think I'll give them a go cooked after all, cheers!
plant a few outside a police station!!!!!!
