I’M COOKING WITH hemp seeds

Some people may be sceptical about consuming hemp but rest assured, you can’t get high or in trouble from eating hemp seeds. In fact, pure whole hemp seeds and hemp hearts (the name for the hulled seeds) are a highly nutritious, protein-rich wholefood. With a slightly nutty flavour and creamy texture, similar to sunflower seeds, hemp seeds are tasty and easy to add into everyday meals. Scatter over morning porridge, yoghurt and fruit salad or add to home-made muesli. Grind to make seed butter or add to dips such as hummus. Throw a spoonful into smoothies, sprinkle on top of salads, eggs, pasta, soups or smashed avocado on toast. Use in baking to make seed crackers, bliss balls, muesli bars and biscuits or simply nibble a handful for an instant energy boost.
