Raw Vegan Pumpkin Hemp Spread

11/9/2014

Comments

 

As the seasons change, so do our senses for warmer, earthier foods. 

Our five senses interact to influence our experiences with food and beverages. Things such as bonfires, fireplaces, apple trees, pine cones, cinnamon, nutmeg and pumpkin help create these feelings of coziness and comfort.   During the colder, damp, winter months, try exploring more foods with a bitter taste.  For example, arugula, dandelion greens, beet greens, beets, carrots, apples, cranberries, pears, squash, millet, quinoa, chickpeas, red lentils and soaked almonds or cashews. Get into more spices, like cardamom, cayenne, curry powder, allspice, and turmeric as well as chamomile, jasmine, and peppermint tea.  These foods are chock full of health benefits.

How about an EARTHY, RAW VEGAN PUMPKIN HEMP SPREAD?

Pumpkin and hemp seeds - the perfect pair providing a smooth texture with a subtle crunch.  Pumpkin is a storehouse of many anti-oxidant vitamins such as vitamin-A, vitamin-C and vitamin-E.  It's also a good source of B-complex group of vitamins and a rich source of minerals.   Hemp seeds are often classified as one of nature's perfect foods, and a health powerhouse in the following ways:
  • Vegan and gluten free, and rich source of essential vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. 
  • The Good Fats:  Hemp seeds contain the perfect 1:3 balance of Omega-3 to Omega-6, which the body needs for optimal skin health, energy production, nervous system function, brain development, heart health, and immune system support.
  • Naturally Occurring Super Omegas: These help the body convert benefits of Omega-3 & Omega-6 EFA's more efficiently. 
  • Whole, Plant-Based Protein: One of the best sources for easily digestible, high-quality protein. Unlike soy, hemp does not contain enzyme inhibitors and phytates, so the nutrients in hemp can be easily absorbed by the body. 
  • Essential Amino Acids: Hemp Seeds contain ALL of the essential amino acids.  A perfect, complete protein source for those who live a plant-based lifestyle.
