Power Salad
Get into some Hemp man! Finally, the powers that be are letting us consume this INCREDIBLE product in Australia. It's been sold as animal grade forever but what did they think we were gonna do with it? That's right GET HIGH. Eeeeediots. (But like, it was OK for animals to eat it.....riiiiiight). Fortunately (or unfortunately) hemp in this form contains no THC, the stuff that makes you say things like ''wooooahhh man, is that cow jumping over the moooooon?"
Hemp Seed Oil is a amazing source of Omega 3s (very important for vegans) and Omega 6's (more readily available but when the ratio of 3's to 6s is wrong they can cause irritation in the body). Hemp Seeds themselves are a POWERHOUSE of protein. If you EVER worry about not getting enough on a plant based diet, then Hemp is the answer. Fantiddlyastic for athletes, this stuff helps keep your muscles pumping and it tastes great too.
This salad is a celebration that sensibility prevailed, and I hope all the people that utilise other parts of the Hemp plant for 'other' purposes try some too, because the awesome fatty acid profile is great for the brain!
