Hemp is a nutritional powerhouse, containing a multitude of essential vitamins, minerals, omega acids and fibre.
In addition, hemp is being more widely utilised, as it was years ago, as animal food, building materials, textiles, clothing and even as a fuel source for vehicles.
Hemp is freely available as a food product, in supermarkets, bulk goods stores, and easily available from stockists online.
My favourite hemp- based products are hemp protein powder, and hemp seeds. These give a hefty dose of plant-based protein, along with benefits for brain functioning, digestive support, and heart health.
Hemp products are very easily incorporated into your favourite baking and treat recipes. They go great in a smoothie, and they are very tasty when toasted and used as a coating for savoury recipes too. Use them as a coating for home-made salmon, kale and potato cakes, to give you a superfood meal or snack.
Featured are hemp-filled, dipped bliss balls, and hemp-rich ginger cookies. The ultimate morning and afternoon tea treats!
