You might remember my discovery of Hemp Milk…well I have a new discovery…Hempseed (I’ve also heard it called Hemp Hearts).
According to Nutiva’s website: Hempseed is considered by leading researchers and medical doctors to be one of the most nutritious food sources on the planet. Shelled hempseed is packed with 33 percent pure digestible protein and is rich in iron and vitamin E as well as omega-3 and GLA. A recent report funded by the Canadian government states that hemp protein is comprised of 66 percent high-quality edistin protein, and that hempseed contains the highest percentage of this of any plant source. Hemp also contains three times the vitamin E contained in flax. Unlike soy, hemp is not genetically modified, and it doesn’t contain the anti-nutritional qualities commonly found in soy.
I add a few tablespoons to my smoothies in the morning. It has a little bit of a nutty taste…not strong, very subtle.
I order mine online, from Amazon…click on the link below and it will take you to the kind I use:
Hempseed
It’s a 3 pound bag, so put some in a ziplock bag (keep in the refrigerator) and put the rest into the freezer.
(Of course, I’m not a doctor…check with your doctor before you start any new food/exercise routine!)
