Hemp Seeds

Hemp seeds are the edible seeds of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa) and are considered an exceptionally nutritious food. They contain a high proportion of quality plant-based protein, healthy unsaturated fats, particularly omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as minerals such as magnesium, iron and zinc. Their flavour is mild, nutty and slightly earthy. In the kitchen they are added to yoghurt, muesli, smoothies, salads and baked goods. They can be eaten raw, toasted or in the form of hemp flour. They are popular in vegetarian and vegan diets as a complete source of protein.
