Popular Hemp Seed Oil Recipes
A lot more people are cooking at home now, so why not try something new? Most recipes call for some type of fat, which usually takes the form of a vegetable oil. Some of the more popular cooking oils include corn, olive, coconut, and avocado, but now is a great time to try out some hemp seed oil recipes!
When using hemp seed oil, it is important to note that it has a low smoke point, which means that it burns easily, so it shouldn’t really be heated. However, it has a delicious, nutty flavor that makes it a great ingredient to add to a lot of different cold recipes.
Hemp seed oil is rich in omega 3 and omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, but not all hemp seed oil is the same. The method of manufacture and the quality of the hemp are important things to consider when purchasing. It is also lower in saturated fats than many other popular cooking oils.

Hemp Milk Recipe
Over the past few decades, daily milk substitutes are becoming increasingly popular. Whether it’s due to lactose intolerance, diet, or other health issues, more people are searching for a non-dairy alternative, such as almond or soy milk. Another great option is hemp milk, and the best thing about it is how easy it is to make!
You only need two ingredients: hemp seeds and water. However, you can also add additional flavoring or a sweetener too, depending on your preference. Simply combine 1/2 cup of hemp seeds with 4 cups of water and mix it in a blender for about a minute or so. For flavor, you can add 1 tablespoon of honey, maple syrup, or even a teaspoon of vanilla. Once it’s blended, it should be fairly smooth, but you can take the additional step of straining the milk if you prefer. If you want milk that is a little more thick and creamy, you just add less water. After storing it in an airtight jar, the hemp milk should stay good for up to 5 days in the fridge.
Foods with Hemp
Not all foods with hemp have to be made from oil, as the seeds themselves can be a great addition to a number of meals. Not only do they have a yummy, nutty flavor, but they are also extremely nutritious. In addition to omega fatty acids, hemp seeds are a great source of fiber and protein, and they are perfect for sprinkling onto foods like yogurt, smoothies, and salads.
