How to use them?
Use these seeds as a cooking ingredient, sprinkled in salads and smoothies, to make milk, or gently toast or roast them to use as a snack.
Some ideas!
They are a great addition to homemade protein bars, granola bars, and energy balls. They are also perfect for adding to all kinds of baked goods like breads, muffins, and even cookies! They add lovely nutty little crunch along with a supercharged nutrient boost. Win/win.
Hemp Milk
Blend hemp seeds for hemp seed milk, which you can use as an alternative to dairy milk in drinks and recipes. 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.
