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...

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.

These seeds are hard to germinate. I have only direct seeded them but I wait until the ground is very warm. You may need to use a heat mat to germinate them inside. When it is warm I have best results, maybe 75% germination rate. They are one of the best tasting cucumbers we have ever grown.

Yes and yes! That is why I purchased them. I wanted to start a Non-GMO garden and be able to sell the plants and seeds myself. Almost all the seeds I have planted in my small greenhouse have germinated.

i don't see why not. i planted it in nw wyoming. the temperatures here get down below freezing, limited rain fall and the soil is poor. it came up within 10 days. and has already started coming back although the temperatures are still low. it is the only grass seed i have had any luck with.

They are the same thing. In order to get the oil, they cold pressed the seeds. Hemp milk is made from the seeds also.

Sorry, I have no way of determining that. I really think it has more to do with what you do with the seed after receiving it when you talk organic. I also don't know if the seeds were genetically modified. You should be able to get some information from the seed packet. If not, you could try contacting the supplier.

No, it will not germinate seeds. it is used to root cuttings from existing plants.

Powdered foods have NO sprout-able seeds. "Organic", indicates that supposedly, by law, it has -not- been irradiated, nor sprayed or grown using any chemicals. AND it needs refrigerated to extend it's shelf-life--which also indicates it's the real organic, not irradiated. That said, ANY produce, even organics, per FDA laws: "if produce is processed in any way [even simple field-washing--like a bucket of water at the edge of the field, in which to wash off dirt], then, it doesn't have to be labeled when they irradiate it." Clues: soft-skinned fruit, like cherries, may have very tiny, almost microscopic pock-marks all over the skins]. IF you want hemp seeds to sprout, there's State and/or Federal laws, permits, etc., to follow, as most countries forbid growing hemp, even the non-drug kinds used for food and other products [paper, cloth, rope, building materials, etc.]. But this product seems to be just as it is labeled--organic, clean, powdered hemp-plants.

Hemp doesn't contain the drug, THC that is the component that is looked for when people get a drug test....also if it did it wouldn't be absorbed by washing your hands and what not.

I personally just eat them whole out of the bag most of the time but this site has instruction's for dehulling hemp seeds. http://www.ehow.com/how_5942255_shell-hemp-seeds.html#ixzz2qQQ2jE59 This will make them easier to eat or make hemp milk out of them.

It would seem that it would be easy to dry seeds for planting, if that is your question. It has temp control but tiny seeds may be affected by the "wind" . I was always told to toast seeds for eating, however. This is just speculation based on my limited knowledge and experience, though.

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.

The plant does not like too much water, potting soil will do. As for temperature, USDA zone 8-10, but I live in a zone 11-12 area but they still grow here. If the germination process took more that two weeks, than those seeds got over-dried and you should get rid of em. It didn't took two weeks and I got my seeds to sprout.

I planted these seeds for my animals to eat. They sprouted and grew well. I guess you could blend them, but they are dry. I see somebody else replied that they came with mold on them. Mine were dry with no mold, but if theirs had mold, then I would say no way should you blend them. Yuck!

Honestly I don't know but my understanding is it keeps seeds from germinating and maaaybe kills emerging seedlings? Where I've used it is a barren area that runs off onto a sidewalk and street. However here in SW weeds love barren places!

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.

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