During my run to the local co-op run health food store, I noticed they sold raw shelled hemp seed. Since I have decided hemp is my new awesome-ness food, I bought some to try out. I was in a hurry to prepare foods for this work week (which started today…or night I should say), so I didn’t make any new recipes – per se, but I did modify an existing recipe for the better, I think.

Raw Hemp Hummus 

250g Zucchini
50g Tahini
45g Shelled Hemp Seed
2-3 Cloves Garlic
130g Kalamata Olives
2T Olive Oil
0.5-1t salt

As with the last recipe, I use a small food processor, so I had to blend it in stages.  First, I processed the zucchini, and added the tahini, garlic, salt, and olive oil.  Process, however you will,  the olives into the mix, and then blend in the hemp seed.Eat.

I have really taken to eating this on sweet red pepper slices. But it is really good on the raw paleo “bread” I still make, or zucchini slices.

Since I an quite enamored with hemp right now, expect more recipes as I get creative and have more time.
