Why is hemp so inconsistent?
For the last 40 years+ I've been preparing my own hemp and I never cease to be amazed at how inconsistent the cooking process can be.
I've got a batch cooking, about 2 to three pints.
Soaked overnight (at least 26 hours), rolling simmer for just about one and half hours now....
Barely a kernel in sight and the shells are still pretty hard. Bloody infuriating!!
If there is someone out there with a botanical bent (ooh, er, missus!), that may have an explanation for this,
I'm sure there will be others like myself would like to know what's occurring..... Please don't tell me it's just me.
I've been told that some hemp variants, particularly from south-east Asia, can be particularly difficult.
(I was under the impression that just about all of it came from south-east Asia).
Also, that the process of removing the hemp's fertility can also be quite inconsistent and have varying effects on the cooking process.
Any thoughts?...
