Good to know: Hemp Seeds

Listen to me, friend, and let's talk about Hemp Seeds — small, soft, pale pearls with a greenish tint, nothing like a nut to look at, but close to one in the palm of your hand.

Why so soft? Because what you buy is hulled — the hard shell is already gone. What's left is almost pure kernel. Bite down and it doesn't crack, it crumbles, it creams, it melts a little under your tongue — nothing like the snap of a sunflower seed.

How to choose them? Trust your nose first. Fresh hemp seed smells green, grassy, faintly nutty. If it smells sharp, like old paint or crayons, put it back — the fat has turned on you.

Some people say hemp seeds are a "light" addition to a salad. No! At 553 kilocalories per 100 grams, with 31.56 grams of protein and 48.75 of fat, this is a dense, serious ingredient. Treat it as light and you'll pour a careless handful onto every bowl — and wonder later why your "light" dinner wasn't light at all.
