Total time About 10 min Vegetarian Lactose-free Dairy-free

Ingredients

2 dl hemp seeds or shelled hemp seeds
0.75 dl cold-pressed rapeseed oil or camelina oil (omega-3 oil)
1.25 dl water
less than 0.5 teaspoon salt

Method

Toast the hemp seeds in a dry pan, stirring constantly, until they start to smell and even “pop” a little. Immediately transfer the seeds from the hot pan to a bowl to prevent them from burning.
Add water, oil and salt.
Blend with a hand blender until the mixture becomes smooth and spreadable.

Serving suggestions

Hemp butter is great as a spread on bread, on top of porridge, or as part of smoothies. It also works as a dip for vegetables and adds protein and good fatty acids to your diet.

Tip

You can also make hemp milk from the same hemp seeds in a ratio of 1:3 (seeds:water). The crushed seeds left after sieving are excellent for baking, porridge or veggie patties.
