Here’s an ingredient you probably haven’t thought to use- hemp seed! These nutty tasting seeds come with surprising health benefits. For us brain-conscious eaters, they contain a great amount of Omega-3 fatty acids and Omega-6 fatty acids crucial for brain power. Hemp seeds are also great for digestion, hair and skin growth, and normal maintenance of our bodies’ cells. One way to integrate this super food ingredient is to add it to hummus, along with red palm oil.
