"I mix the hempseed with other seeds and nuts, mix with a mango sauce, and roast lightly. This is great on salads. I wonder, however, how the hemp would affect someone who had to undergo drug testing on the job??? Hmmmm."

"After first trying chia seeds and loving those, I decided to give hemp seeds a try. They are a great ingredient and topping in almost everything. I put it over pasta, salad, in my food bars - it is very versatile and has many positive health benefits since it contains essential fatty acids and amino acids necessary for good health. They have a soft texture and are good with almost anything (just like chia!)"

"Hempseeds are my favorite addition to salads these days - adds protein and texture and a mildly nutty texture and flavor. Softer than nut meats and the little nuggets are just cute and tasty. Good plain, too, or on top of baked potatoes or other veggies. Great way for me to get some protein into my diet without a ton of fat (I'm eating mostly raw food these days so it's great to have these for extra protein when I don't eat enough greens some days). I also make a wonderful hempseed-based creamy salad dressing that is wonderful (a Cafe Gratitude recipe). So lovely!"
