Very interesting article I got on Twitter about nyjer seed. Facts about where it comes from, why it is called what it is, and more.

And can you believe it is HAND harvested?? holy cow.

Wow, looks like heat treating made the difference. I wonder if a former could make any money growing, harvesting ans selling it. Surely, we could come up with a more effective method of harvesting, than by hand.
