Fizzy hemp...

Got fed up paying around 2 quid for a tin of hemp that's gone after a few
handfuls so decided to go back to cooking my own again. (Hate the smell
but
the value can't be beaten)... thing is, does anyone know what the extra
ingredients are to make it fizz, like what it says on the tin?
Cheers for any info


I used to add a tablespoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of bicarb to every 2lbs
of seeds...

Like you, I prefer to cook my own, unfortunately none of the three tackle
shops near me (north west Leicestershire) stock it uncooked - does anyone
know where I could bulk buy?

Thanks for the advice there Matt, I'll give it a try!

As for buying it raw in bulk, I've always got it from petshops or pet stalls
on the market. Don't know what the going rate is but I bought 2kg for £2.70
on Norwich market at the weekend. Admittedly the stall was selling a limited
quantity and range of fishing tackle but it was predominantly a pet
food/accessories stall.

Happy hemp hunting!
