Hemp seeds - the superfood
Hemp seeds contain many nutrients and vital substances - especially zinc, magnesium and iron - in significant quantities. This means that not only is the hemp oil extracted from hemp seeds a great food (superfood), but of course the seeds themselves are also great, making them one of the foods with extremely interesting health-promoting properties.
Enjoying hemp seeds – Nothing could be easier
If you want to benefit from the health-promoting effects of hemp seeds, enjoy the small, nutty-tasting seeds regularly. Below we give you a few tips on how you can easily integrate hemp seeds into your diet:
My tip: I always roast the whole hemp seeds, unless I eat them straight from the plant. The shells break apart better and this makes it easier for the stomach to release the many substances from the shell. If you eat the hemp seeds whole, you will excrete them completely.
While roasting, you can also season them well, depending on your taste, and nibble on them as cinema hemp.
- Sprinkle your muesli or salad with 1-2 tablespoons of peeled or unpeeled hemp seeds.
- Snack on shelled or unpeeled hemp seeds as often as you like.
- Add a teaspoon of hemp oil to your smoothie or protein shake.
- Also use shelled hemp seeds when preparing spreads or pestos.
- Prepare a plant-based milk from peeled hemp seeds (see below).
- Refine your pasta, grain dishes, soups or dressings with a teaspoon of hemp oil.
- Mix hemp seeds into baked goods such as bread or cakes.
