[accidental_ booby]

the seeds (they are sort of square) can be a bit on the "sandy" side, so what I did was to use 2 spoons, one large, one smaller, put some oil in the big spoon and put seeds in it and crush them down to a powder with the smaller spoon The oil helps lubricate and also keeps the powder from getting out of the spoon. I mixed about 6 capsules with one ounce of oil--something like avocado oil which absorbes very well--and let it marinate for a week. It is much better and softer on the skin. If you do a lot of seeds, it might be worth getting a spice/pil crusher set (mortar and pestle) either at a kitchen supply store or drug store--if they still sell them. Most pills are now time release so they don't recommend crushing any more, so you may ot find it at drug store.
