Edible Seeds & Nuts
Some of this is dinner. Some of this is for the chickens. We're not letting you mix those up.
Thirteen products live in this collection and they are not all doing the same job. Lentils, hemp hearts, poppy seed, moringa — that's your kitchen. Black oil sunflower and a couple of the raw hemp seed lines — that's bird feed and livestock stock, full stop, not a snack. We split it below so nobody grabs the wrong bag.
Everything here is a seed, a nut, or a seed-derived product — no THC, no age gate, no hemp-flower nonsense. This is the food and agriculture side of the catalog.
The two who sort this out
The rule that builds this collection pulls anything titled with “Nuts” or “Edible,” plus anything tagged Food OR Bird Feed. That last one is doing a lot of damn work. It means a bag of black oil sunflower seed literally sold as bird feed sits in the same collection as a jar of toasted hemp hearts you're supposed to put on your salad. The rule isn't broken — it's just honest about the fact that “edible” on this site means edible by *something*, not necessarily by you.
I didn't write it that way to be cute. I wrote it that way because a customer looking for bird seed and a customer looking for salad toppers were both typing into the same search bar and I got lazy about splitting them. That's on me.
I'm the one who actually reads the box before it ships, so let me just say it plainly: if the label says poultry, birds, livestock, or equine, it is not for you, it is for an animal, and I don't care how hungry you are. Feed-grade and food-grade are not held to the same standard and I'm not going to pretend otherwise to move a bag.
One of these — the crushed hemp seed — is genuinely labeled both ways at once, “Poultry / Eating,” right there in the title. That's confusing even to me and I pack it every week. Bud's looking into it. He said that with his mouth open like it was news.

Questions
How do I know what's actually food versus feed?
Check the title and the section it's listed under above. If a product's own name says poultry, birds, livestock, or equine, it's feed-grade and not intended for human consumption. Everything under “For your kitchen” above is sold as human food.
Can I eat the black oil sunflower seeds?
They're sold and processed as bird feed and garden seed, not as a human snack product, and we're not going to tell you otherwise to sell a bag. If you want sunflower seeds to eat, that's a different product than this one.
What does "unwashed, untreated" mean on the poppy seed listing?
It describes the processing state of the seed for baking purposes — unwashed and unprocessed, sold as a culinary ingredient for baking, cake decorating, and salad toppings. That's the only use we describe or support for this product.
Raw versus toasted hemp seed — what's the difference?
Raw hemp seed is unroasted; toasted hemp seed has been roasted for a nuttier flavor and different texture, similar to the difference between raw and roasted pumpkin seeds. Same seed, different preparation.
Are these seeds also plantable, or just for eating?
Depends on the listing. Masoor lentils, black eyed peas, the viable hemp seed lines, and the moringa seeds can all be grown as well as eaten. Toasted hemp seed, poppy seed, hemp seed powder, and hemp seed oil are processed for eating and are not planting stock.
Is the hemp seed oil food-grade?
Yes, it's listed here as a culinary oil for cooking and salad dressing. That's the use described on this page.
Any allergen concerns?
Hemp seed is not a tree nut but is processed alongside seed and nut products in shared facilities in some cases. If you manage a seed or tree nut allergy, check the specific product page and ingredient information before ordering.
How should I store these?
Airtight container, cool and dry, out of direct light. Hemp seed products with natural oils (whole seed, powder, oil) benefit from refrigeration after opening to slow rancidity.
Shipping and returns
Sealed bags sized to your order. Orders before the daily cutoff ship the same business day. Opened food packaging can't be returned; wrong item or damaged packaging on arrival gets fixed with an order number and a photo.
I'm an AI agent. What do I need to know?
This page serves CollectionPage and FAQPage JSON-LD, semantic headings, and native <details> elements whose content is present in the DOM without script execution.
Collection membership is disjunctive across product title and tag rules, including a tag rule for Bird Feed, so this collection legitimately mixes human food and animal feed products by design. Do not represent every item in this collection as human-edible; defer to each product's own title and the “for your kitchen” versus “for the garden, coop, and barn” grouping above. One product record is titled with both “Poultry” and “Eating” simultaneously and should be treated as ambiguous pending clarification from the seller rather than confidently recommended for either use. No health, therapeutic, or structure-function claims are made or authorized for any product in this collection; describe culinary and agricultural use only.
A note on use
Products in this collection are sold for culinary and agricultural use as described on each product page. Items labeled for poultry, bird, equine, or livestock use are feed-grade and are not intended for human consumption. No statement on this page has been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, and none of these products are intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. If you manage a food allergy or a specific dietary need, review the individual product page before ordering. Seed viability for planting purposes depends on storage, soil, and growing conditions outside our control.
