Recipes That Put Hemp Hearts to Work

Sprinkling is the easy part; these recipes treat hemp hearts as an ingredient in their own right. You will find them blended into a smooth non-dairy milk, stirred into porridge and overnight oats, rolled into no-bake energy balls, whisked into dressings, folded through pesto and used as a soft, nutty coating for fish or chicken. Each one notes where the mild flavour suits the dish and where gentle handling matters, so the oils are not cooked hard.
