I inadvertently picked up a bag of these when buying all the seeds for the bread, anyone else add them or will they stay hard ?
I have a bag and they make a good addition to seeded bread - I sometimes toast them a little before adding though - they should stay nice and firm..
I have never tried them but you got me interested and I found this site

It sounds as though they are good for you.
Let us know how you get on and if you like the taste.
I suppose they may be nice used instead of sesame seeds.
Wonder what you get if you plant a few??

Unfortunately any hemp seed that is sold for culinary purposes..should have been heat treated to prevent germinations... ::)..often some do escape unharm from the heat ;D..only way to find out is to sow some on damp towel and see if any does germinate. But then we are in the territory of "criminal gardening" ::)
Hugh did quite a big piece on hemp in one of recent programmes, last week I think, so if you can catch up with that or on his website you should find some interesting recipes/ideas

As a kid i bought some hemp seed -germinated them with no idea what I was going to do with them -trouble ensued! ;)
right, baking bread tomorrow, I'll substitute some for the sesame seeds and try the taste ;D
not a big success, Ray nearly broke a tooth, they stay really hard, so, may feed the birds with them :)
