Hemp Oil

Don't worry; this stuff is legal. The earthy-tasting oil, made from pressed hemp seeds, has 25 times more omega-3 fatty acids than olive oil. Hemp oil is too delicate for heating, so keep it out of the frying pan and store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

Hemp Cilantro Pesto

  • 1 1/2 cups cilantro, packed
  • 1/3  cup walnuts
  • 1 3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt

In a food processor, pulse together cilantro, walnuts, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic and salt. With the machine running, pour the hemp oil in through the feed tube and process until well mixed but still slightly grainy.
