Dehulled organic hemp seeds - the seed with the shell taken off! Ideal for sprinkling on salads, adding to smoothies and desserts, or just for nibbling on their own.

Here's what our editor had to say about this superfood in the autumn 2007 issue of Get Fresh! magazine:

"There are over three million edible plant species on the planet, but no other can compare with hemp in nutritional value. Hemp seeds are a packed with protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants. As long as they are consumed raw, both the amino acids and the essential fats in hemp seeds are in the ideal ratios for human nutrition. A high proportion of hemp's amino acids come in the most easily digestible form known to man: globulin edestin, very similar to the protein found in human blood plasma.

Hemp is a rich source of vitamin E and its balance of essential fatty acids mirrors the diet that the human race evolved on, which is a 4:1 ratio of omega 6s to omega 3s. Clinical tests have shown that the standard diet of today is likely to provide a ratio closer to 20:1 and in many subjects tested, omega 3 levels are too low to even register.

Consuming the wrong ratio of essential fats - namely not getting the all-important omega-3s - has been shown to be a risk factor in heart disease and cancer, as well as infertility and other endocrine problems, and in nervous system disorders and mental illness. There is evidence that regular consumption of hemp can improve memory and relieve attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is also beneficial for the skin: the oils in hemp moisturise the skin from the inside out."

fresh approach 2

Are you getting your greens? They’re healthiest raw but remember, you can always juice them or blend them to make them go down nice and easy. Smoothie suggestion: blend a banana with the juice of two oranges and 100g of raw spinach. Seriously – try it! You don’t even taste the green stuff and it’s all thick and creamy to boot.
