crosstraining Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Is there any other way to grind seeds besides coffee grinder and mortar and pestle? I was wondering if I could put them in my magic bullet blinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleyoop Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The blender is out, as is the coffee grinder. Heat is the enemy, and both of these appliances produce a lot of heat. A pepper mill would work, but I don't know if it would get them to a powder. You can also put them in a handkerchief or something similar and hit them with a hammer until they become powdered. A mortar and pestle is the best. alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer1_NC Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Many use a pepper grinder......it seems to suit the purpose rather well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidj Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I have used all of the methods mentioned plus a seed grinder, for me #1 choice now after quite a few grind sessions is mortar and pestle (did 70 that way today), more work but a finer powder if you stay at it. #2 choice is a pepper grinder, less work but I don't think it crushes it up as well. My 2 cents David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Only ever used a mortar and pestle. You just need to cup your hand over the mortar so those little buggers don't escape when the pestle smashes them. I have been on several rc seed egg hunts on the kitchen floor looking for the ones that flew out, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crosstraining Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Ok, Where do I get a mortar and pestle? Thanks Google is my friend. Looks like about anywhere: Target, Wal-mart, Amazon, Ebay, etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidj Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 My wife found mine at Marshall's in the "gourmet" food section. Target has them some times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Over the last 5 years, I most often just crush them with a pair of pliers and crumble them between my fingers and soak in non chlorinated water for an hour or so. It may just be me but I feel I get a better dosage affect this way rather than super fine ginding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 It may just be me but I feel I get a better dosage affect this way rather than super fine ginding. Try soaking them for 24 hours or so. That's the best dosage affect I have ever gotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Chad Virtually all of the LSA in RC seeds is hydrolyzed in 2 hours soaked in water. Might be slightly temperature dependent. If you start with warm, not hot, water its a little faster. I have tested this in all directions over the last many years and beyond 2 hours doesnt make a noticeable difference for me. I think it was Doc Sewells lab tests that also verified this. You may have been experiencing the variations in seed content cant say for sure. The lemon juice may have helped bring out other chemicals as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arde Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Over the last 5 years, I most often just crush them with a pair of pliers and crumble them between my fingers and soak in non chlorinated water for an hour or so. It may just be me but I feel I get a better dosage affect this way rather than super fine ginding. That's been my technique also, seems to work very well. Long ago, pre HA days, I consumed Heavenly Blue recreationally, I just popped the seeds in my mouth and chewed them up. Always got the desired effects and some undesired nausea. I think your stomach will take care of most of the extraction process for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason I soaked longer is merely because I forget about them and before I go to bed.... well that's when I ingest them for that good nights sleep. That larger dose I did this past cycle that was soaked for over 24 hours was the one that really got me with the nausea. It literally woke me within an hour of my sleep. Now seed contant, we can never know for sure about that. It's a gamble every time so it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
