Hemp Seed Butter
Manitoba Harvest

We had never had Hemp Seed Butter before! If you like nuts like we do, then you’re going to LOVE this butter! This is not butter like from a cow, this is ‘butter’ like in nut butter! Think peanut butter, or cashew butter that you spread on bread and slather jelly over. This is like that….except nuttier, and more textured, and green! Yep, it’s green! If you love a rich, nutty flavor though you are not going to care that it’s green, all you are going to do is sigh at the depth of flavor that this butter has!

Fans of Hemp Seed Butter have some terrific recipes that you can use this in! How about a Hemp Seed Butter and Banana Sandwich on cinnamon raisin bread? Oh yeah! Or try stuffing this nutty butter into dates and serving for dessert. Of course, what is nut butter without chocolate as in Hemp Seed Butter and Chocolate Vegan Brownies!

These recipes are just to get you started on your own culinary journey of including a new nut butter into your life and cuisine. Of course, we immediately thought of this over ice cream…or IN it. We especially liked the no holds barred approach of just dipping good chocolate into its nutty richness. But then this would be heaven swirled in a smoothie with banana or chocolate, and a few of us are waiting to layer this between pancakes or waffles. Not to be outdone, one of our reviewers practically swooned at the idea of making this a layer of ‘icing’ in a very chocolate cake’s center: visions of a giant peanut butter-like cup danced in her head! Thinking internationally some of us envisioned this as a great Satay sauce for chicken or noodles, and herbed and spiced to make it a savory delight.

So, now that you think that this is just a decadent delight that must be frivolous and sinful, take heart! This is also incredibly nutritious! The ingredients are shelled hemp seeds that are sustainably grown without pesticides or herbicides. And guess what? There are NO GMO’s in this! Filled with a highly digestible form of protein, and loaded with GLA and almost perfectly balanced with omega 6 and 3, this is the healthy nut butter that you have been waiting your whole life for! And you thought that something this rich just couldn’t be good for you!

In a 10-ounce jar that you are going to wish was twice as big (take note and buy TWO of these!), you will find your spoon magically wending its way to this container for just ‘one more taste’! As good as it is right off the spoon, be sure and dollop this on a bagel with cream cheese and some cinnamon. Spread this over crackers and put a sliver of sharp cheese on top. However you use other nut butters, use this instead…and you just might find that you like this butter better! No harm in that: that’s widening your culinary and nutrition horizons and that…yeah, you know: that’s Pure Zing!
