If you've tried them, these light seedy sprinkles are delicious in and on anything, wouldn't you agree?

Hemp and its seeds have been used for thousands of years by various cultures for TRADITIONAL MEDICINE and as a DIETARY SUPPLEMENT because their benefits were so clear.

We know they're super nutritious and PACKED with PROTEIN, but it gets tons of extra bonus points for LOTS of HEALTH BENEFITS, besides being a sustainable crop and having 25,000+ all-round uses!!!

Here we go....they

  • help stimulate digestion

  • have a high mineral content including IRON & MAGNESIUM & CALCIUM

  • boost the IMMUNE SYSTEM

  • are powerful ANTI OXIDANTS reducing FREE RADICALS

  • are an awesome FIBER source for STIMULATING BILE juice to digest efficiently & to ease constipation

  • act as a HORMONE REGULATOR on the thyroid & pancreas.

  • are a complete protein even including the 8 essential amino acids the body can't produce naturally but needed for muscle strength, weight loss, stress reduction

  • boost heart health; the fiber scrapes off extra cholesterol and helps it be eliminated

  • have a soothing effect on various SKIN CONDITIONS like dermatitis eczema, psoriasis, inflammation

  • prevent dandruff

  • and more. Worth investing $ in these seedy gems.

BTW SMOOTHIE LOVERS.....

Pea protein powders can be very drying for VATA constitutions and so I encourage my clients to SUBSTITUTE this FOR HEMP which is far more nutritional and has the proper balance of fatty acids.


Hemp milk

Hemp seeds can be blended with water to make a healthy milk substitute, although the flavour of hemp milk is less sweet than almond milk or cow’s milk.

Take half a cup of shelled hemp seeds and 2 cups of water, blend for about 3-5 minutes and then strain through a nut-milk bag or cheesecloth. It’s that easy!
