Hemp seeds are legal as food in Australia and, while they won’t make you high, they are incredibly nutritious.

They are a great source of protein and contain a good balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fats, as well as

vitamins and minerals. On top of their nutritional potency, hemp seeds have a creamy texture and a mild

nutty taste that make them incredibly versatile in the kitchen. These hemp seed recipes will have your body

and taste buds singing: Overnight Chia, Hemp & Carrot Cake Brekky Bowl; Hemp & Quinoa Bites; Hemp &

Kale Nuggets with Cucumber Hummus; Cacao Hemp Balls; Peanut Butter Hemp Smoothie; Hemp Granola

with Berries; and Strawberry, Orange & Hemp Seed Jam.

Hemp & Mushroom Risotto

Recipe / Adam Guthrie

This is an interesting way to use hemp. It has

a clean and creamy texture and flavour.

Serves: 4

1 onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic

8 medium mushrooms,

sliced

2 sticks celery, finely

diced

2 cups hemp seeds

6 cups liquid vegan

Massel Chicken

Style stock

1 bunch flat-leaf

parsley, chopped

½ cup nutritional yeast

Salt & pepper to taste

Heat frying pan over medium heat.

Add onion, garlic, mushrooms and celery and

sauté until soft.

Add hemp seeds and stock. Mix well and cook

until stock is mostly absorbed and resembles wet

risotto. Add parsley, nutritional yeast and season

with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve in bowl.

Hemp Granola with Berries

Recipe / Adam Guthrie

I always have a jar of my hemp granola in the pantry and a freezer full of mixed

berries. It then becomes super easy to throw them in a bowl and top with your

favourite plant-based milk.

Serves: 4

Hemp Granola

1 cup hemp seeds

800g raw muesli

3 cups apple purée

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tbsp maple syrup

4 cups fresh mixed berries

4 cups Bonsoy soy milk

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking

trays with greaseproof paper.

Place granola ingredients in large

bowl and mix well. Spread mixture

evenly over both trays. Place trays in

oven and cook for 10–15 mins.

Remove trays from oven. Give

mixture on each tray a good stir, then

return to oven and cook for further

10–15 mins until golden to dark brown.

Remove from oven and set aside to

cool. Once cool, place in airtight jar.

To serve, place hemp granola in bowl,

top with mixed berries and soy milk.
