Hi forum. I've been lurking Bluelight for years but this is my first post. I've been using poppy seed tea for a while but have come into possession of a quantity of dried P. giganthemum pods that I'm hoping to use for pod tea. To my dismay, I noticed that they seem to be coated with a thin, matte white film which is slightly tacky to the touch. The film is odourless, thin, waxy in appearance and feel but does not transfer to the fingers. Picture is a sample pod from my collection. Could anyone familiar and experienced with dried pod appearance give their opinion as to the state of my pods? Warnings abound about preservative coatings being applied to pods and I'm afraid that if I can't verify that this hazy sheen is a normal feature of dried giganthemum, I'll have to ditch my collection. I have already tried to find the information using Google and managed to find one reference to this coating, posted on another forum by someone with basically the same concerns as me. They were told by one person that it's a normal feature of dried pods. Any help is appreciated. Sorry about the formatting.
