Hemp seeds have lots of good things going for them including lots of fiber, protein a high content of beneficial fatty acids and phytosterols and loads of other good things. I put a tbsp or so in my salads because of the health benefits, and there is no real flavor impact one way or another. These are pretty small (smaller than barley) and quite happily get lost in the mix of other foods tossed in with them.

As a diabetic treating diabetes through diet and lifestyle changes, I no longer eat things like oatmeal, porridge and the like, but if you do, I am sure that adding these to those kinds of meals would be great.

They are small but still have a nutty texture, so you can also put them on yogurts for a little texture without any strong flavor.

I keep the bag re-sealed in the freezer and refrigerate a small container from which I take what I eat each day. They have kept fine for a long time in the freezer this way, and I have never had any problems with spoilage or rancidity.

Rather than dislike them because they are bland in flavor, instead I recommend them highly as an addition to other meals for that very reason!

NOTE: These are NOT a powder. They are small hulled seeds – much better than a powder – but if you want or require a powder, these are not a powder…

I got this at the recommendation of my friend, kind of an impulse buy. Its excellent, I highly recommend it, when you receive it it looks like a typical forest/camo green–not the off-brown in the photo. I put the powder, about 4 tablespoons, in fruit (and veggie) smoothies–equates to 11 grams protein I believe and a ton of other very good things that it does for you, both known to our young human science, and, probably not known to our science yet either. This is a plant, when you study it, that has been around humans in their places of evolution and settlement for thousands of years, and yes I am speaking of this plant alone, not including its sister plant of the psychotropic affecting variety.

It has a nice nutty flavor, its absolutely superb in terms of its nutritional capacity. Its like quinoa is to grains–the highest in protein content among the grains–its nearly the king. Simply put this stuff is the bomb, you could put this stuff in virtually anything, for any dish, or beverage, and it would make that end result concoction super fortified to use a made up term.

What I do most mornings, with a regular chunka breakfast type food is make one of these hemp smoothies: is get a bag of frozen fruit (costco has a great one): shave some of that stuff off, add 4 or more tblspoons of this powder, put in a some fresh fruit or veggies (or whatever), and then add some liquid (filtered water, organic soy milk, etc.) for the liquid portion, put it in blender, blend it for 3-4 minutes on low first, then high; when dundee, croccodile style you’ve just made a simple but great nutritional drink & source of nutrition. This according to the same friend is a pretty amazing price too–although I cannot say one way or the other myself. Lastly, please check out the most amazing spiritual preparation on I’ve ever found, or any of the materials by author Marshall Vian Summers, I can vouch for this, it is the real deal. Follow it and see, its called Steps to Knowledge, the Book of Inner Knowing, it was Spiritual Book of the Year for 2000 as awarded by Foreward Magazine.
