how to use certain foods

[cbalzly]

Maybe this is a silly question, but I am wondering none the less.

I just recieved my crab addiction order and wonder if I need to rehydrate the dried green beans, fish etc that came as samples (too fun!) or serve them crunchy the way they are? What about the popcorn, do i pop it? and last but not least, do I fee them the seeds (such as Chia) and others or should I sprout them?

THanks for your help.

I'm not too sure, because I've never gotten food from there. You should pm vckums as she is the owner of the store. Luckily she's a member here.

I can answer them here for you

Freeze dried foods can be rehydrated or served as is. To rehydrate, warm up dechlorinated water and soak the food in it for about 5 minutes.

The popcorn has to be popped. I do mine in the air popper or microwave. If you use the microwave put a small amount of oil in the bag with the kernals.

Chia seeds should be sprouted and then served to the crabs. Have fun!

my crabs like the seeds I plant so much that they eat them before they start to grow! Broccoli seeds especially. I also got the chia seeds as a sample and as soon as I get home i'm going to plant them for my little ones.

The chia seeds are fun to grow. They literally can be grown anywhere, even on a clay saucer. Just like the chia pets in the stores. Mine sprout in 2-3 days and I just pop the whole pot in there and they devour them.

That's a great idea. I have an extra little clay saucer from a small pot the hermies use as a cuttle bone eating area. I should get more seeds and plant them in the little dish.
