HEMP! 

 

 Hemp Seeds have an incredible nutritional profile!

Hemp seeds are truly a super food, as they are packed with an impressive list of nutritional attributes. Perfectly balanced with a three to one omega-6 to omega-3 oil ratio, they are also an excellent source of gamma linoleic and acid (GLA)- which our bodies can’t make and we must get in food. It contains important nutrients like iron, magnesium, and vitamin E. Hemp is a complete protein, meaning it can provide your body with all of the essential amino acids, a definite plus for vegetarians and vegans.

Also, hemp protein powder and hemp oil are amazing additions to a healthy diet.

Hemp seeds come from the hemp plant, which can produce a wide range of materials, according to Paul Benhaim in the book "A Modern Introduction to Hemp: From Food to Fibre: Past, Present and Future." These include clothing, paper, building materials, beverages, cosmetics, fuel and food.

"An acre of the best ground for hemp, is to be selected and sewn in hemp and be kept for a permanent hemp patch." - Thomas Jefferson's Garden book 1849

Save the world! J

Caution: Eating the super food hemp seeds, may cause superhuman powers.

Personally, I buy hemp seeds by 3 or 5lbs bags and love to find creative ways to use these little magic jewels. So whether you are in my hemp seed fan club, or never have tried them, I will leave you with a favorite spring and summer recipe containing hemp seeds. I’ve shared hemp seed tabouli with bunches of people and it always resulted in a happy face, and sometimes a happy dance.
