![]() And not just little chunks of dates added to the mix. I wanted to bring in my favourite food pairing with oats – DATES – to sweeten my granola. The Manitoba Harvest recipe page on their website has a few different recipes for granola, but I wanted to mix things up and make a granola that was different from any I have had before. So, when I was deciding what kind of Hemp Hearts recipe to create for this post, I kept coming back to granola. (Yes, my children actually prefer plain yogurt to flavoured. Hemp Hearts have more protein and omegas and less carbs than the same serving of chia or flax.Īnd the best part is, my kids prefer to eat their granola with plain yogurt. Nutritious – per 30 gram serving, Hemp Hearts contain 10 grams of plant-based protein and 10 grams of Omegas.Easy to use – Simply sprinkle Hemp Hearts on salad, cereal & yogurt, add to smoothies and recipes, or eat them straight from the package.Great tasting – Hemp Hearts have a slightly nutty taste, similar to a sunflower seed or pine nut.From smoothies, to baking, to salads, and pretty much anything else you can think of, hemp seeds add a nutty flavour while powering up your food with extra omegas, fiber, and protein. ![]() These little seeds add incredible nutrition easily (and deliciously!) to almost any meal of the day. I love to add them to recipes or sprinkle them on cereal or salads. I have been a fan of hemp hearts for a few years. The hemp seed is at the top part of the hemp plant and can be used to create products like Hemp Hearts, hemp protein powder, and hemp oil. Their facility has even earned an external global “gold stamp” in food safety and quality from the BRC (British Retail Consortium) Certification. They use only non-GMO seed from Canadian farmers and 65% of all seeded hemp acres in Canada last year were seeded for Manitoba Harvest.Īs a consumer, it is a relief to know that a company is committed to providing the highest quality food possible while also remaining passionate about using green energy and reducing their organization’s energy pollution. The Manitoba Harvest team calls themselves “control freaks,” controlling “everything from what seed gets planted, to how products are manufactured & packaged, to distribution.” “To manufacture and market the highest quality hemp food products, to educate on the health and environmental benefits of hemp, and to strive for sustainability in all that we do.” They really are an ethical, inspiring organization. I have to say - I am almost as excited about the folks at Manitoba Harvest as I am about hemp food itself. Hemp is a super plant - a sustainable crop that produces a versatile plant that can be used to make food, clothing, rope, paper, building material, paint, fuel, and more.Īnd fortunately, this super plant has Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods dedicated to spreading the news about how healthy and fabulous hemp food is. If you haven’t brought hemp into your kitchen yet, let me introduce you… ![]() Thanks to Manitoba Harvest for inspiring and sponsoring this Hemp Hearts recipe. And – as if that wasn’t enough yum – macadamia nuts, hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds add even more flavour to this sweet and crunchy granola. Packed with omegas and protein, this unbelievably delicious granola features hemp heart seeds and is sweetened with dates, maple syrup and coconut oil.
