RECIPES HEMP BUTTER

Hemp butter

Hemp seeds contain many plant proteins (29%), amino acids, fibres (37%), carbohydrates, as well as potassium, calcium, magnesium and other compounds and oil containing the unsaturated fatty acids Omega 3 and Omega 6, which are of high value for the human body. Hemp is an ancient cultivated plant, originating from South Asia. These were brought to Latvia by caravan roads already in the 8th century. 

Ingredients:

“Krippu” crackers or sticks,

100 g hemp seeds,

4 Tbsp oil (pumpkin, grapeseed or other, as chosen) or 3 Tbsp butter,

Salt, pepper.

Preparation:

You can use ready-made hemp products: stack, butter, sauce or prepare your own at home.

1. Hemp butter is made of roasted (at low temperatures, as carcinogenic substances develop at high temperatures) and ground seeds or seeds mashed in masher.  Add salt, pepper to taste.
2. If the hemp butter (stack ) appears to be intense in taste, it can be confused with butter or to prepare a sauce - add a few tablespoons of neutral oil.
