— Why freshness matters more here

Seeds are mostly oil.
Oil goes rancid faster than grain.

A wheat berry is 70% starch and lasts five years. A flax seed is 40% oil and starts oxidizing the moment it cracks. That's why we date every bag, store hulled seeds cold, and don't buy any seed in a quantity we can't sell in six months.

A seed that smells like nothing is fresh. A seed that smells faintly of paint or old crackers has turned — chuck it. Free advice from the till.

Bulk bags up to 50 lbs, smaller resealable pouches for kitchen use. We can repack to any size you need — bring a clean jar.

What to do with them

Bake, soak,
sprout, or eat.

Most of these have at least four lives. None of them deserve to live in your pantry for three years.

Bakers' seeds

Sunflower, pumpkin, and flax bake into a high-hydration sourdough beautifully. Toast them first for the deepest flavour. Sesame and poppy go on top — egg wash, sprinkle, bake.

— On the bowl

Topper seeds

Hemp hearts on yogurt, chia in overnight oats, ground flax in smoothies. Grind flax just before use — whole seeds pass through undigested. A coffee grinder works fine.

Sprouting seeds

Many seeds will sprout if you ask them to. Soak for 8 hours, drain, rinse twice a day in a jar with a mesh lid. Eat the sprouts in 3–5 days. Avoid sprouting sunflower kernels — they go bitter.

— Storage rules

Keep cold

Hulled seeds belong in the fridge or freezer. Whole flax and chia keep fine in a cupboard for a year — the hull is the seed's own packaging, designed to protect the oil inside.
