Meet my new favourite addition to our breakfasts. Max and I went to the Wellington Food & Wine Show at the weekend and this was one of my scores. I have been reading about Hemp Seeds for months and so when they were right there in front of me I had to grab. I'm not a big fan of supplements (a whole other blog) so love foods that are nutrient dense, especially with those vitamins, minerals and oils that are hard to obtain from our daily diets. Hemp Seeds have 18 amino acids (excellent for Max as he's vegetarian) and the "perfect" balance of omega 3, 6 and 9. The GLA component is anti-inflammatory - bonus!
I bought a big container of them and prayed that everyone would like them as there were none to taste test. Fortunately they were a hit and the boys were very happy to sprinkle on breakfast, in fact Joe reminded me to grab them out of the freezer this morning. They are sort of nutty and taste rather like their close cousin .. cough ..
We did of course buy them for Max's pets to eat as Aus & NZ only license Hemp as animal food (some serious confusion between the THC free Hemp and marijuana that contains the active ingredient). But then it's important to make sure the quality is there so we all checked ....
