hempseed PDF Print E-mail

Hempseed is actually denatured seed from the hemp plant…not the kind that some people have been known to smoke, but one that is illegal to grow in the US, nonetheless. But don't worry: no part of the hemp plant can get anyone "high." This is a FABULOUS source of Omega-3 fatty acids -- it tastes like walnuts -- and is perfect for vegans.

 

Be sure not to cook it, though, or those Omega-3's you're going for will disappear under the heat.  Just sprinkle them on salads, on top of your oatmeal in the morning, etc.
