Since the following recipes all call for ground hempseed, 

Rather than merely grinding the amount called form in one recipe, do up, instead, 5 or 6 cups at a time and store the extra in a bag in the freezer until ready to use.

Generally speaking, the hempseed sold today is very dirty and must be washed. An easy method is to measure a quantity of hempseed into a pitcher; about 1 cup. Fill the pitcher with water and stir the contents. Let sit for a bit. The seeds will float to the top and the grit and stones will sink to the bottom. Slowly pour the seeds into a sieve taking care to not disturb the silt at the bottom and to stop before it begins to spill out with the seeds. Drain the washed seeds and spread out on a T- cloth. Scan the seeds and pick out any obvious longer stems. Repeat this procedure a few times with more seeds.

Regarding grinders, the best machines are those specifically designed for grinding nuts and seeds. These are usually sold as flour mills with optional burr kits. Burrs are made of metal and designed to enable the grinding of soybeans and other hard field beans, millet, damp grains and high oil content seeds and nuts. Mills, on the other hand, are made of stones and are preferred when grinding wheat, rye, barley, oats and other dry grains.

Although commonly found in the average European kitchen, most North American kitchens lack this marvelously hand machine. They can, however be obtained in a wide range of prices, through most Health Food stores or ordered from Mennonite and ?Back-to-the-Land? lifestyle catalogues. Big bread fans may consider investing in the high ticketed electric grinders to supply them with all their flour needs. There is simply nothing quite like a loaf of bread made with freshly ground flour. Hand grinders are inexpensive by comparison and not too tiring to operate on a minimum basis. Please note that neither the modern electric coffee grinder nor the household blender perform a satisfactory job at pulverizing the hard hempseed into a fine consistency.

Hempseeds don?t need to be entirely dry when using a grinder outfitted with burrs. Laying them out on a T-towel after washing adequately soaks up the majority of the excess water. Once seeds are ground, their precious essential oils become exposed to the light and air. To retard rancidity, pack the surplus grindings into a plastic bag and put in freezer for future experimentations.

Hempseeds can be included in many recipes but excel when used in breads and cakes. Their high oil content enables the possibility of cutting back or even eliminating other oils called for. Undoubtedly though, blender drinks are the ultimate way of infesting hempseeds. Besides there being no chewing involved with hempseed?s hard out shells, only swallowing, there is no cooking involved either. This means the enzymes which are found in all uncooked foods and beneficial for digestion have not been destroyed by heat. Also, non of the highly susceptible essential fatty acids due to high temperature exposure. It?s true baking also involves high heat, but basically only the outer crust is exposed to extreme temperatures whereas the inner part cooks within its own steam, enough to kill the enzymes but not enough to damage the oil molecules. Frying however, is not recommended. Hempseed?s healthful fatty acids distort quickly under these conditions. Instead, try lightly toasting bean-based burgers containing hempseed as an alternative.

Inventing recipes using hempseed challenges the imagination. 

The following recipes are mere doorways into possible avenues. Enjoy!
