When you boil it are you actually cooking the seed?

I didn't" boil it nor did I think that I should boil it. It did not agree with me I hope you have better luck.

i dont beleive it is "cooking" the seed. i believe there are oils inside that help with the "elimination" process...i did it a couple of times but dont see any difference than cutting the seed and taking it like you would a pill...i see others answered similarly so i would have to say that i dont beleive there is a value in adding it to hot water...i know they say to squish the seed up in the water...and the contents of the seed (the oil) is bitter...so...im definitely not an expert but in my opinion i would just cut it and take it at night before you go to bed as recommended. hope this helped :o) i dont beleive it is "cooking" the seed. i believe there are oils inside that help with the "elimination" process...i did it a couple of times but dont see any difference than cutting the seed and taking it like you would a pill...i see others answered similarly so i would have to say that i dont beleive there is a value in adding it to hot water...i know they say to squish the seed up in the water...and the contents of the seed (the oil) is bitter...so...im definitely not an expert but in my opinion i would just cut it and take it at night before you go to bed as... » Read More i dont beleive it is "cooking" the seed. i believe there are oils inside that help with the "elimination" process...i did it a couple of times but dont see any difference than cutting the seed and taking it like you would a pill...i see others answered similarly so i would have to say that i dont beleive there is a value in adding it to hot water...i know they say to squish the seed up in the water...and the contents of the seed (the oil) is bitter...so...im definitely not an expert but in my opinion i would just cut it and take it at night before you go to bed as recommended. hope this helped :o) « Show Less

I do cook at a full boil but at a medium boil so I haven't encountered any problems. J. Knox

I do all the time but I don't keep it at "high" temp all the time. I start out with high and as soon as it is cooking well I lower it to medium or lower depending on what I am cooking.

No, it needs to be cooked since it is mainly dried veggies. The directions call for water, but I use low sodium chicken broth. I also usually add some chopped tomato, It is so easy and is delicious.

No. It's small and doesn't generate alot of heat. Just gentle heat to get seeds started.

You soak the seeds to soften up the outer shell so that you can peel part of the shell to speed up the growing process. If I knew how to post pictures on Amazon, I could show you what my 3 plants currently looking like. Once my seeds arrive ( I bought more) I will record every step I take to get the seeds to grow.

According to the product label, it is 'pressed' (seed kernels) to extract the 'juice'. So since it doesn't indicate heating it must be COLD PRESSED as indicated.I hope this has helped.

Hi Kathryn: I just rinse the seeds off before the initial soaking. I believe they are organic, so they should be fine. But contact The Sprout House if you are worried. Best, Sarah

I've heard the trick it to boil it twice. Boil it. Let it cool, then boil again.

Just put it in the water with the eggs while you boiling the eggs, depending how you want your eggs it will tell you when the are ready.

I did! It's still small and it took me two tries to get it right but now that it's warm day and night and I've got it in a bigger pot outside it's going great! (I started the seeds in those little Jiffy peat pods, inside, in a tray, with a lid on them, on top of my stove with the light on day and night and kept them very wet. They sprouted in just a day or two.)

The seeds arrive hulled and ready for grinding, if that is your choice. As I add them to oatmeal, I grind mine. I leave them whole for salads.

You can do both. The seeds can be ground into mustard. Also the leaves, flowers, seed pods and roots are also edible. Not sure what it taste like since this is my first time growing it.

no. the actual cooking is done with charcoal. you're only using propane to start the charcoal.

No. You have to boil the water and then steep the tea. Well worth it though!

Be sure you thoroughly rinse the rise before cooking. I'd also suggest cooking a bit less at a time if it's still boiling over.

Haven't try it like that. But I really don't think it works. It supposed to be cooked in order to work!
