About this Recipe

By: Wilna Eksteen

Hemp hearts are the soft inner part of hemp seeds after removing the outer shell. They are cream and green-coloured and come from the Cannabis sativa L. plant (contains no THC, the psychoactive part of cannabis). These little seeds are packed with protein, containing 9.5 g per 30 g, and have a glycaemic load of 0 in 3 tablespoons. This is a great addition to your pantry and should definitely be a staple! This recipe showcases how easy it is to incorporate hempseeds into a dish
