There was no reason for your attitude Lucy Diamond. I have every right to ask questions about an item Im interested in purchasing.

These are GARBAGE if you are looking for P. Som unwashed! Go with "Food to live".. they take 4-5 days to get to me but well worth it.. Give HIGH remarks.. VERY HIGH.

I have also tried washing them and would consider the tint in the water to be a natural result of hydrating the dried berries. I finally just assumed the berries were pre-washed because there were no twigs, leaves, or other litter in them. Anyway, since I bake with them (they make a chewy substitute for raisins), I assume the heat would take care of any contamination problem. In other words, I think they've been washed.

None that I'm aware of -- I bought them for a friend who is still filling them with herbs of some sort - she stores them in the refrigerator and has not mentioned any deterioration.

I can say Yes to untreated seeds. Check with Renee's Garden Seeds for certified organic

The seeds are very clean but I do not know if they are irradiated. I usually put the seeds in a mug and pour boiling water over them to make fennel tea, so the heat would kill any bacteria. I put the fennel in soups and on pizza as well.

I don't rinse the seeds. I haven't found them to be gritty or anything. But you could rinse them if you prefer.

It says they are 100% pure shelled hemp seeds that are certified organic, kosher, non-gmo, gluten free and raw. It would be impossible to answer all your questions without being there in person. I personally trust that they are raw as advertised and feel they are a healthy alternative to other things we place into our bodies.

I found quite a lot of information about grading of poppy seeds on Google and contacting the seller " Food-To-live " would both probably be better choices than asking me. that since I couldn't actually speak for Food-To-Live, the poppy seed industry and don't grade poppy seeds commercially. for my own purposes , I would expect that grade " A " would mean first quality recently harvested fresh seeds , well sifted of debris , unwashed or very lightly washed , rich oily coating , large black round or oval shape, crunchy texture and that desirable rich natural poppy seed taste and smell. so far all the seeds I have bought from several companies on Amazon have met my standards as mentioned, Food-For-Life seeds probably being the best, most recent , I have bought on Amazon. thanks for asking for my opinion.

Yes I'm pretty sure they wash it, but not pasteurizing the vegetables makes sure they are not exposed to radiation and thus lessening they're nutritional value

I have gotten them wet while working with the roses. I haven't tried washing them.

WARNING these are not Papaver Somniferum seeds but in fact are Papaver Rhoeas seeds. Seller has refused to acknowledge my e-mails.

I am not sure I have only hand washed them to make sure they are clean and air dried them.

I have cooked it rinsed and unrinsed and notice no difference. It's a pain to wash and strain, since the seeds are so small. It tastes GREAT either way!

I honestly do not remember. I bought more than one type of seed and I don't remember which ones were packaged how. I do remember however, that some of them were confiscated by the FDA, because they came from over seas and I never received them.

They are very fragrant. Quiet bitter too. I eat them with ginger and honey and always have a glass of water to flush it down, but when I sprinkle some on my bread before I bake it, it becomes the most delicious seed.

No. They are seeds. Like many seeds, these have a long shelf life, if kept dry. If you grind the seeds, then keep them in the refrigerator. inshaa'ALLAAH.
