Immature seed ideas?

[Grandma Weedstein]

So a female I pollinated as part of a breeding project crapped out on me before reaching full maturity, though I still got a lot of viable seed out of the deal, so I’m not worried about it.

However, I’m still left with a buttload of immature seed that I’m loath to just throw away. I’ve nibbled on a few and they taste pretty good, so my instinct is to roast them and use them as a snack.

Before I do that, though, I figured I’d check with you guys to see if there were any other uses for immature seeds that I’m unaware of.

If I do go down the cooking route, maybe there are better ways to do it than roasting. Any ideas?

I’m posting a photo of the immature seed so you know what I’m dealing with. It’s not like pounds so I’m not gonna be able to grind it into flour or make bread out of it or anything, but it’s still a good amount.

Roast for a nutty-flavored snack.
Press for healthy food-oil supplement (not productive in this quantity).
Crush/grind and bury in your compost pile. You could skip the crush/grind step - but you might find a volunteer "or two" come Spring.

I figured roasting was the best option, thanks!

 

[TorturedSoul]

I get roasted every now and then. I don't know if it's the best option - I am, after all, a little crispy around the edges after all this time. But it's an enjoyable one .

By the way: Good for you for not throwing them into the nearest trash can.

Spot on, so funny! Wasn’t even thinking about the “roasted” double entendre. As far as throwing anything in the trash, I try to avoid it when I can. This probably sounds cheesy but the goddamn plant still seems magical to me after all these years! I figure I should use every last part like I was eating a buffalo.

Any recommendations as far as time and temperature for roasting? Toss in vegetable oil first?

 

[TorturedSoul]

Oh geeze, IDK. Roast 'em with some serrano peppers, however one does that.

Every last part? You eat the hide off a buffalo? Come to think of it, Mom used to eat pork rinds when I was a kid and it was one of those rare moments when there was money for a luxury item or two - and that's just fried pig skin, I think. Probably not a real big seller in SaEWWdie 'Rabia. Wonder what they do with apples over there, since they can't stuff 'em into pigs' mouths before a roast? I know - every once in a while, one of their women probably forgets herself and tries to drive, or do something really scandalous. Show a little... ankle, maybe, who knows. I certainly don't. I can't understand 'em. I mean... I can deal with dumb people, and do so on a regular basis. But for the grace of God and all that, yeah? But there's a limit, lol. And those folks... Some guy had to tell 'em, hundreds and hundreds of years ago, don't eat the pork. <SHRUGS> Fine. I can understand that, no refrigerators, and they're cooking over camel dung fueled fire rings because it's not like there are all that many forests in the desert. And they were in the desert, so everyone else's brains had probably melted, and it makes sense that there was only one guy who figured out that eating live parasites isn't the smartest dietary choice one could make. So, yeah, the meat was going to be burned on the outside, raw in the middle, and taste like camel sh!t all the way through, lol - so the worms in the pork meat would still be alive and (er... figuratively) kickin' when they swallowed it. But it's the 21st century, and they've got more money than-- okay, one or two families have more money than half the rest of the planet. But they've got electricity, can afford refrigerators and stoves... but some guy told them not to eat pork. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago. Fawk, hundreds and hundreds of years ago, they didn't have semtek-and-ball-bearing casual wear, either - but that sure doesn't seem to bother 'em now. I just don't understand 'em.

Wait, sorry, I got a little sled-tracked there for a minute. You kind of threw me for a loop bragging about having a whole buffalo in your larder. (Are you looking to adopt any kids, lofl?) What I was about to post was:

If you grow via DWC or some other hydroponic method, those nice white roots can be eaten like spaghetti squash. IDK about growing in soil and doing it. Seems like you'd burn more food than you'd consume just trying to get all the dirt off. But that's just a guess. And if I was any good at guessing, I'd go buy a lottery ticket next time I had a dollar. . . .

That’s a cool idea with the roots but hydroponic seems too complex for my tastes!

 

[Sonman]

Try germinating a few first, those don’t look that immature, some seed you buy look less developed than those

Thanks bro but it’s too late — I fried them up in salted butter and they tasted great. Still got plenty of mature looking seed so I’m not worried about taking a culinary adventure. I tried different methods of separating seeds from chaff (including blowing on a piece of paper — DO NOT TRY, bunch of seed blew away too — but didn’t come up within anything worthwhile. So, if you got immature seed, Fry with salted butter at medium high until brown. Tastes good. Actually wish I had more! I’m hoping that I won’t ever end up with a bunch of immature seed again, but if I do, I’ll heat them up on medium high in butter again for a few minutes. Delicious. They ended up a little brownish due to interaction between residual cannabis and hot butter, but it didn’t impact the taste...

 

[TorturedSoul]

You can buy (hemp) cannabis seed. Costs money - but it's probably cheaper in the long run than growing seedy bud .

 

[Grandma Weedstein]

I think they should add roasted hemp seed to more trail mixes or whatever. The fried cannabis seed tasted real good and I’m sure it’s the same deal with hemp. I’m planning to focus on seed production in future grows (got enough weed already to last me a long time) so I’ll just fry the immature ones from now on — not gonna buy any, but when I’ve got them, I think that’s the way to go.

I’ve noticed a real different bud structure when the female is pollinated earlier. Almost no bud to speak of, but the seeds matured real fast.

 

[TorturedSoul]

Yeah, that's the whole point of life - to create more of it. So that's what generally happens when plants get pollinated (and one of the two reasons that people grow sin semilla - the other being seedy bud is a RPITA, lol).

I forgot to save the dried calyxes I crumbled the seeds out from. Would have been interesting to see how potent they were. Didn’t really occur to me at the time — too focused on the seed...
