Eating shelled hemp seeds, or hemp hearts, is as simple as sprinkling a spoonful or two into smoothies or on top of cereal, salads, or yogurt My personal favorite brand is Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods. What's great about hemp seeds (besides all of the things listed in the pic) is that people with gluten sensitivity can use hemp seeds as a substitute for breadcrumbs to coat chicken or fish. And because of its nutty flavor, hemp seeds make a great substitute for people with nut allergies—you can dry-toast them over low heat to bring out even more of that nuttiness. Also, let's not forget that they're an awesome source of healthy fats and protein...especially for my Keto friends 😊
How to eat hemp seeds
Since they are made up of fragile oils, it’s best to consume hemp seeds raw and keep them stored in the refrigerator.
Add them to homemade bars. Take dates, figs, apricots and mix with nuts like walnuts and pulverized almonds. Mix in hemp seeds for more nutrition and good fat!
Add hemp seed to your favorite salad dressing. The fatty acids will help you absorb the vitamins and minerals from your greens! You can also just sprinkle some on top of your salad.
Make homemade hemp seed milk. I like homemade almond milk but if you have to avoid nuts, hemp seed milk is a nut free, dairy free milk alternative. Just like you can blend almonds and water to make almond milk, you can do the same with hemp seeds for hemp seed milk.
Add them to a smoothie. Throw a tablespoon, two or three into some of my favorite combos:
Last but not least, although hemp and marijuana are members of the same species, Cannabis sativa, they're in effect completely different plants. You can eat as many hemp seeds as you want and not have to worry about getting high or failing a drug test! 😉
And there you have it! Some super easy ideas to get a sprinkle of well rounded nutrition into your diet with little or no effort. Enjoy!
