  how many people regularly consume hemp seeds? I put them into my shakes for good EFA %.

Also, i make Hemp milk, and can use that milk for baking(implement into meal replacement bars instead of "milk")

  heres a website that shows nutritional info about hemp, if you dont know. I think they are one of the great unheard of products that for some reason...hemp isnt consumed more.

Anyone know where i can get some dehulled hemp seed that doesnt cost a bomb?

I like the look of their nutritional profile, but i can only find the hulled seed in bulk!

I found a place where i can get shell on hemp for £9 for 5kg. Im unsure of whether the hull is edible or not.

Can anyone shed some light for me please, James maybe?

Will be similar to Flax eddie - seeds are designed to be swallowed, not digested, and crapped out.

Blend them and all will be fine.

Would only add to a diet in any decent amounts if already adding in flax seed.

Cheers Tony!

I want to use them in nut bars as theyre protein powerhouses and i like variaty in my diet. I have a ton of flax seed too.

Going to use a combo of flax, hemp, sunflower and pumpkin seeds.

Just trying to find a way of making them hold together with no sugar based binders!

BTW, do you know if they thicken up like flax?

Should do yes, would've thought mucilage levels were pretty similar.

Hemp is tasty stuff to be fair..!
