Hemp Seeds

Hemp seeds and Chia seeds are our staples. They are rich in proteins and Omega 3s, and require zero preparation.

Chia seeds are tasteless, but Hemp seeds add a really nice slightly nutty taste to our meals, and they are really filling.

The best thing is, they don't need any preparation. We just pour a few spoons over our salads, or into our drinks, and we're done!

Because of these little seeds, it's been much easier to get the kids to eat their veggies raw. Why RAW? Raw food contains a lot more vitamins and minerals than cooked food. And most enzymes are destroyed at 60-70 degrees celsius. So with the help of seeds and salad dressing, we've managed to get the little ones to eat their lots of raw salads!

Hemp and Chia seed smoothies are nice too. I blend them with fruit (banana or strawberries) for a yummy smoothie!
