Things You'll Need
- Pot or saucepan
- Salt
- Plastic storage containers
Instructions
-
Rinse and clean the hemp seeds in a strainer.
-
Place the hemp seeds in a pot or bowl, cover them with three or four times the water and allow them to soak for 24 hours. This will help the shells start to split as well as continue to clean any silt. The silt will float to the bottom.
-
Place hemp seeds and water in a pot or saucepan. Pour the hemp seeds and water slowly into the pot and stop just before the layer of silt starts to pour in. Add one teaspoon of salt per 16 ounces of hemp seeds. Bring the water to a boil.
-
Reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the hemp seeds for 20 to 30 minutes, or until all of the seeds have split.
-
Strain any leftover water and spread the seeds out on wax paper or a towel to cool and dry.
-
Store hemp seeds in plastic bags or containers in the refrigerator.
