The hemp seeds, according to what I read, are made unviable to germinate and plant due to intentional use of heat to remove the viability of the seed. Because the government doesn't want hemp seeds to be planted. Does the company use heat to sterilize/make-not-viable the seeds prior to grounding them up?If so, then the nutrients are lowered. I am seeking hemp seeds or powder that is not heat treated, if possible. Fresh. Not processed by heat, radiation, lasers, etc to kill the seed, the plant embryo.

We really don't know. You might have to contact the manufacturer/processer.

Check out Nutiva's website. Their hemp seeds are cold processed below 104 degrees and then sifted to make the protein powder.

No no no - the seed hulls are removed by mechanical process. That alone renders the seed unviable as a plant. Only if the seed shell remains intact does the heat treatment process come into play. In the protein powder there are no bizzaro excessive forces needed to make the product.

That's the first I heard of cannabis oil being referred to as hemp oil. If you noticed on their website that what they call hemp oil is reallyCannabis Oil. Cannabis oil can only be purchase in States that allow for Medical Marijuana. So that must mean that it has THC in it. I'm sure when most people refer to "hemp oil " they really mean "hemp seed oil". To the majority of people who buy and sell it- there is no difference because there is no THC in it. I am by no means an expert, it's just from my experience and my research.

Hi there, thank you for your question. This is Lisa, the owner of Zziggysgal. Here's some tips on the best way to keep your seeds viable during long periods of storage.1) Most importantly, do not freeze them because each seed contains a tiny droplet of water at its core to be used upon germination. When water freezes, it expands, damaging/compromising the seeds cell structure.2) The secret to keeping them viable longer is to carefully choose a storage place that does not experience extreme fluctuation in temperatures. 3) I like to place my leftover packets of seed sealed in a good old fashioned mason jar.

When I researched last year in re to purchasing a heating mat for seed starting I came across a warning to NEVER use a "for human use" heating pad as it is too warm, even on a low setting. They are not manufactured with a controlled heat setting that is low enough for seed starting. I would not try it. I bought 2 of this Viagro mat & it worked great for me.

I use hemp seeds in everything from smoothies to sprinkles on fruit or salads. They taste very similar to sunflower seeds but have significantly higher nutritional content. The oil is used as a health supplement. There are certain schools of thought that believe cancerous growths can be shrunk from daily consumption of hempseed oil.

It says they are 100% pure shelled hemp seeds that are certified organic, kosher, non-gmo, gluten free and raw. It would be impossible to answer all your questions without being there in person. I personally trust that they are raw as advertised and feel they are a healthy alternative to other things we place into our bodies.

We had a long, involved discussion with the manufacturer/grower. The grower that Bella BirdCo uses explained that silica are the "hairs or fibers" that can be on the outside of the canary seed. When they asked their farmers, they were told that this particular seed is the best quality, cleanest seed (meaning it is fresh and triple vacuumed to clean all dust off of it). Silica is abrasive; this particular seed is so smooth that the seeds flow out like water if one was to puncture the bag, like an hourglass. Seeds are are not triple cleaned or are of lower quality would not flow like this. So, they said since no one can really claim silica free, they can claim they have the cleanest, freshest, and highest quality canary seed (alpiste) which is also packed in a nitrogen-flushed bag. This oxygen-free environment keeps the seeds fresher and drier than hand-packed bags.

Hemp hearts are Hemp seeds with the shell removed. When you remove the hull of the seed you are causing several detrimental effects to the nutritious whole seed. The main detriment is that you lose the hull, an excellent source of minerals but more importantly, a rare source of insoluble fibre, something that we get very little of in our modern diets. You can use the hull of the hemp seed to gently cleanse your colon and flush toxins from your intestinal tract. It is an excellent source of a type of fibre that is not found in our diets because of over processing of foods. Another good source of insoluble fibre would be soil, something not commonly consumed.

When I was a younger man many, many years ago I tried doing just that with with the seeds that were left at the bottom of the bag, didn't work. Now I use these to make hemp milk for my son who can not drink cow or any other dairy product. You may try moving to a state that it is not illegal in or better yet don't try at all...back in the day it was very addictive.

Hempseed oil is manufactured from varieties of Cannabis sativa that do not contain significant amounts of THC, the psychoactive element present in the cannabis plant. This manufacturing process typically includes cleaning the seed to 99.99% before pressing the oil. There is no THC within the hempseed, although trace amounts of THC may be found in hempseed oil when plant matter adheres to the seed surface during manufacturing.

From what I have read about it, hemp is a very hardy plant with little need for conventional pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and therefore has very little to no pesticide residues. I like that the company gives a lower price point option as the other commenter posted. I buy these at Costco for about half the price per ounce.

I'm sure it is natural since it grows when seeded into the soil. As to the content of chemicals I don't know if the seeds were treated, that is possible, but other than that I doubt that there is anything else in it. All I know is that it germinates very fast, comes up nice and green, and if you keep the grasshoppers out of it you'll have a beautiful lawn.

It probably settled. What does the expiration date say? I love hemp milk, it does have a long shelf life, make sure you shake it up good!Make sure the carton was totally sealed, and no air got in. Should be cream colored.Susan

The manufacturer of this product uses heat sterilization. Peroxide can "poison" anything that you try to cultivate.
