Because the crop is shatter‑resistant and can be combined directly, most of the harvest is shipped shortly after combine, leading to peak export availability in the late summer and early autumn months.

Canary Seed Price Questions

What moisture level is recommended for storing canary seed?
Canary seed is considered safe for storage at about 13 % moisture. Maintaining this moisture level helps prevent deterioration during storage and transport.
How is canary seed processed for human food use?
After cleaning, the seed can be dehulled to produce groats, which are then milled by pin, roller or hammer milling into flour, or tempered and flaked for use in bakery, cereal, pasta and snack products.
What are the main quality defects buyers look for?
Buyers monitor for dehulled seed (dockage), silica hair dust that irritates handlers, and foreign material such as ergot, excreta or inert matter. Excess heat damage (fireburnt or binburnt) is also a concern.
