Hemp seeds are rich in protein, fiber and fatty acids, making them on par with other healthy grains such as pumpkin seeds and flaxseeds. Store your hemp seeds in an airtight container in the refrigerator before you are ready to use them. Hemp seeds are suitable as an addition to salads, baked pastries, snacks and yogurt.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Roasting Hemp Seeds
Step 1. Purchase whole hemp seeds from your regular natural grocery store
Assume a serving of hemp seeds equals 2 tablespoons and multiply the amount accordingly.
Step 2. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat
When the pan is hot, add the hemp seeds. When the seeds start to pop, it means they are ready. There is no need to use oil in this process, as hemp seeds are naturally rich in healthy oils.
Step 3. Use roasted hemp seeds as a topping on your yogurt, or use them when you make a crust for fish, or sprinkle them over salads for your dinner
Method 2 of 3: Grind Hemp Seeds
Step 1. Take about 20 grams of whole hemp seeds
Put it in a clean coffee grinder.
Step 2. Turn on the coffee grinder until the hemp seeds are ground into a powder
Step 3. Bake muffins, cakes or cinnamon rolls with this hemp seed powder
Grease the cakes with glaze, from a mixture of coconut oil or butter. The glaze gives the recipe a nutty taste.
Step 4. Sprinkle hemp seed powder over the wet glaze
It is best to avoid heating hemp seeds in the oven, as this will deplete the nutrients.
Step 5. Add the ground hemp seeds to your smoothie or sprinkle over your cereal
Hemp seed powder can also be added to porridge or oatmeal to increase the fiber and fatty acid content. Seeds that have been ground into a powder won't get stuck in your teeth the way they might when you eat whole hemp seeds.
Method 3 of 3: Processing Hemp Seeds with a Food Processor
Step 1. Place the hemp seeds in a food processor along with the other ingredients to make a healthy dressing or pasta sauce
The food processor keeps the hemp seeds coarse, but will mix them perfectly with the rest of the ingredients.
Step 2. Add a bunch of Italian parsley, one-half white onion, one organic tomato, five to six tablespoons (25 to 30 grams) of hemp seeds
Stir until well combined, then add the juice of one lemon, one clove of garlic, a little olive oil and grind until all ingredients are combined perfectly in a food processor. Pour the salad dressing over a bean salad or lettuce salad.
Step 3. Mix 42 grams of basil leaves, 50 grams of Parmesan cheese, 59 ml of extra virgin olive oil and 40 grams of peeled hemp seeds
Peeled hemp seeds are also often available at health grocery stores. Grind in a food processor until well blended and pour over the pasta.
