Hemp Hearts
Posted by: Marion Morrish in health, food, ethics on Mar 1, 2009
There seem to be quite a few vegetarians and even a few vegans at WHUC. There may be others that are transitioning. For myself, I am chugging along towards veganism.
I have made the most amazing discovery - Hemp Hearts!!! I am just so over-the-top excited! They're shelled hemp seeds, and 5 tablespoons of these tender little morsels pack a wholloping 20 grams of protein! Imagine! That takes the worry right out of my day! Even those unable to tolerate gluten, sugar, milk, nuts, and meat can chow down on Hemp Hearts.
They have a place of honour in my refrigerator. They go into shakes, soups, stews, salads - whatever goes into my mouth - they go with it.
Rocky Mountain Grain Products, Lethbridge, Alberta is my brand du jour. Check around, do the research, and maybe you'll fall head over heals, as I have. I'm in love with Hemp Hearts!
P.S. Have a look for Hemp Powder, and Hemp Milk as well; there are some great brands out there. Fabulous!

Wow! This looks amazing! I'll have to check it out. I'm always looking for protein sources that are interesting and not the same old same old. Especially since DH (darling husband) is allergic to most of the proteins I can eat. But as I, like you, try to move to more vegan choices, it gets even harder so a "hearty" thank you!

Hemp Hearts
Hi Gretta!
Here's a delicious snack - a half-slice of dense high-protein bread toast, a lavish spread of Hemp Seed Nut Butter, topped with a generous sprinkling of Hemp Hearts. Check website re nut allergies (http://www.manitobaharvest.com). That'll hold you for a while!
