On my recent travels I was introduced to the natural laxative effect
of "Hemp Hearts" when added as an ingredient of bread making. It seems
that the husk/shells of these seeds in this form are removed by a
specially designed and setup machine, the processing of which makes
them quite an expensive item.

Back home I've been grinding up plain old Hemp seeds, husk and all
with a coffee grinder. Being so oily and tending to clog the grinder
blades, I think I'll be getting through a lot of electric coffee
grinders if I carry on along this path.

Consequently my searches led me to the "WonderMill" a rare and
expensive bit of kit in the UK

Though non of the reviews related directly to Hemp seeds, there were
complaints of poor performance when it came to oily nuts, which didn't
bode well.

Any advice on how to grind these seeds up economically and
effectively?

Made out of gold at that price.

Either place them in a blender or food processor? Or look for a "poppy seed
mill"? Poppy seeds are very oily, though smaller than hemp seeds...

maybe just use a pestle and mortar?
