Superfood Highlight: Hemp Seeds

Hemp has been cultivated for over 12,000 years around the globe and used as a food, fiber, textile, paper, and even fuel. Hemp is a well-balanced, complete vegan protein source that includes all of the essential amino acids. Not only is hemp one of the best veggie sources of protein, it’s easy for the body to digest and assimilate. Hemp also features plenty of other nutrients including abundant fiber, chlorophyll, vitamins, and omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids.

Gracious Living Superfood Plant Protein Tabbouleh

Ingredients:

2 cups raw cauliflower, chopped very small in the food processor

1 cup raw hemp seeds

2 cups fresh parsley, without the stem

1/2–1 cup fresh mint leaves

1 cup cherry tomatoes (each tomato cut into thirds)

1 cup diced cucumbers

3 green onion stalks, thinly sliced

1–2 cloves raw garlic, finely minced

2 tablespoons raw hemp oil

1 lemon, juiced

Directions:

Use a food processor, with an "S" blade, to chop your cauliflower. You might need to do two batches if you have a small Cuisinart like I do. Place contents in a big bowl.

Use food processor to chop all your herbs until finely minced. Add to bowl.

Add the rest of the ingredients. Add sea salt to taste.

Mix well. Best when chilled for a few hours so flavors come together. Serve as a main dish, as a side, or on gluten-free crackers.

Variations:

Use cooked or sprouted quinoa instead of raw cauliflower.
