Mmm, Hummus.. And Hemp Seed Oil. Two of my favourite things in life (almost!).
I absolutely love that Hemp is such a versatile seed. I use it across all my cooking. Whether it’d be breakfast in the format of a Hemp Protein Powder, for my salads in form of Hemp Hearts or for my dinner when I use the Hemp Seed Oil for dressings or creating a dip, just like this hummus.
Hemple has a selection that is growing across the entire section of HEMP products which is 100% Australian Grown #supportlocalfarmers.
Just to put the myth to rest; no you won’t get high from eating Hemp Protein.. Marijuana is what will get you high, Hemp won’t. Although they share similar genetics, the big distinction is that hemp is superior in the cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD), while marijuana is bred to have a higher ratio of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
The cannabidiol that’s great for wellness is CBD, but it’s the THC in marijuana that gets you high. Agricultural hemp grown for food also contains no or very low levels of THC, and gives the best seed yield.
So if you want a protein that contain a complete protein profile, vitamins, minerals and polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, HEMP should be your go-to!
Enough about what this wonder-product actually is and does for you – although if you’re further interested, read here for my article on ‘The Health Benefits of Hemp”.
But without further prolonging this conversation, let’s get down to Hummus-business.
