    Old Hempseed (Uncooked) Bin it or Boil it?

    When hemp is cooked, it gives off an aroma/ smell, which would be the answer to your question. Send me a sample, I'll do it. I think I'm qualified been cooking it since 1980's.

    Soak and boil a sample ( pint) , before binning it. If it's been stored dry, should be ok.
