All the Ways We Experience Hemp

Agricultural hemp grain & fiber find their way in American diets and home goods

More than a hip buzzword, hemp grain and fiber are versatile powerhouses for our bodies and our homes. From nutritious superfood to sustainable material, the uses for hemp are incredibly diverse and surprisingly simple to incorporate into daily life. Let's explore the many ways you can enjoy the benefits of hemp, from your morning routine to your evening wind-down and all the places in between.

Fueling Your Day: Hemp in the Kitchen

Starting your day with hemp is easier and more delicious than you might think.

• Morning Smoothie Boost: My day often kicks off with a vibrant smoothie and hemp hearts are an essential, albeit almost unnoticed, addition. They blend seamlessly into a mix of fresh fruit, leafy greens, Greek yogurt and almond milk, providing a significant protein punch with just a hint of nutty flavor.

  
  

• Sustained Energy with Hemp Protein Capsules: Hemp protein powder capsules satiate till lunchtime. Pop a couple caps and power through the morning with plant-based protein, fiber, iron, copper, manganese and other nutrients. It's a convenient way to get a concentrated dose of goodness.

  
  

• Afternoon Hemp Leaf Refresh: When the afternoon slump hits, consider snacking on hemp leaves. Crunchy micro-greens have a mild, pleasant flavor and contain more protein by weight than any other green. Also, easily toss into salads for an extra nutritional boost, add to sandwiches, noodle bowls or drink garnishes. More mature leaves offer an acquired taste, but one that becomes more enjoyable when you consider the incredible nutrient density packed into every raw leaf.

  
  

• Bake with Hemp Flour: Made from ground hemp grains, hemp flour offers a unique and nutritious twist to traditional recipes. This gluten-free alternative imparts a distinctive earthy and nutty flavor that can complement both sweet and savory dishes. Its high protein and fiber content and low gluten levels means it's best blended with other flours in yeast-leavened breads. It shines in quick breads, muffins, cookies and even as a thickener for sauces. Hemp flour lends a subtle richness and a boost of essential fatty acids to your culinary creations.

  
  

• Hemp for Happy Hens: Don't forget your feathered friends! Throwing your hens a handful of Hemp Seed Snacks for Feathered Friends makes for a perfect afternoon treat. Supplementing their diet with hemp seeds adds beneficial protein and omegas to their eggs, all from a whole grain that's surprisingly easy for them to digest.

  
  

• Evening Omega Boost: Before bed, a simple yet effective ritual involves a capful of Hempy’s Heart Hemp Seed Oil in a glass of water. Not only does it taste surprisingly great, but it also offers a moisturizing benefit on its way down! Hemp seed oil is rich in Omegas 3, 6 and 9, the essential fatty acids your body needs to thrive but cannot produce on its own.

Nourishing Your Body: Hemp Beyond Food

Hemp's benefits extend far beyond internal consumption, offering natural nourishment for your skin and hair.

• Glowing Skin, Hair & Nails: Fresh from the shower, a direct application of Hempy’s Heart Hemp Seed Oil on your skin and nails can give you a warm, healthy glow without the greasiness you might expect. It absorbs easily, delivering a balanced blend of Omegas directly to your body's largest organ. It promotes healthy skin, strong nails and shiny hair.
