I wish I would have known about hemp as my daughter was growing up! Hemp for kids is a thing. In todays world of processed foods and fast foods, agribusiness we are just not getting enough of the high quality nutrients in our foods. Remember the days of eating a spoonful of cod liver oil? Yeah just not tasty, nor easy to swallow! What kid likes that? Well, hemp to the rescue! And you know that you are getting a clean source of these necessary healthy fats, without the heavy ...metals that can be present in fish. Hemp offers a lot of good Omegas. In fact it is said to be the ideal ratio 3:1 for our bodies. These healthy fats are known to help children develop properly, fend off allergies and keep ADHD at bay. The fats in hemp are the good fats, the ones that protect the heart, reduce inflammation and enhance the immune system. Hemp is an easy and very versatile way to get our kids to eat omega rich foods. With one teaspoon of hemp daily, you will have a healthier, stronger and happier child.

There is nothing like sitting around with family and friends, over a really good meal. Good food has a way of bringing our loved ones together in a special way. When I'm preparing a meal, weekday (with less time) or on the weekend (more time) I want something nutritious yet delicious and mouth watering. Adding ZypChicks hemp, with its slightly nutty flavour, creamy texture and many nutrients is sometimes that little extra that takes your meal over the top! Have fun cooking and eating together, creating meals that feed the soul as well as the body. Happy hempy Wednesday!

Hemp-Crusted Baked Chicken Tenders - recipe from @gimmesomeoven These tenders will appeal to everyone! Crispy, moist and flavourful, it's sure to be a favorite with your family, and an easy way to incorporate hemp, increasing the nutritional value of this meal. Ingredients... 1/2 cup @ZypChicks hemp hearts (Natural or Zyppy Taco) 1/2 cup ground almonds or almond meal 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp smoked paprika 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper pinch of cayenne pepper 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1/4 inch thick strips 2 eggs whisked cooking spray or olive or grapeseed oil in a misto Directions Heat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper In a medium bowl whisk together hemp, ground almonds, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne until evenly combined. Set up your dipping station in this order: 1- chicken strips 2- whisked eggs 3- hemp breading 4 - parchment lined baking sheet. Dip each chicken strip in the eggs until completely covered, give it a little shake to take off any excess egg. Add chicken strips to the hemp mixture, and gently toss until completely covered. Transfer to baking sheet and then repeat with remaining chicken. Give the chicken strips a good shot of the cooking spray so that they are all lightly covered. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through. They are done when the chicken is no longer pink inside and the breading is golden. I like to play with recipes and use them as guidelines. Add different spices to the hemp mixture, maybe use tofu instead of chicken. Be experimental and make this the way you want. I like this recipe because it is baked, not deep fried, yet it has all the crispy goodness that we all enjoy. Out of hemp?

In January we focused on the many benefits of hemp for our health. This month we'll take a closer look at why hemp is good for everyone in your family. People have been eating hemp for thousands of years. These seeds are loved for their versatility, nutty flavour and nutritional benefits. Meal time is an important time for families. It's a time to be together, talk over the day, or even plan the day. Sometimes in our busy lives, it's the only time families are all together. A...lthough now, since the pandemic, we are probably spending more time in the kitchen preparing food and eating together. We all want to make delicious meals that are also good for everyone in the family. The small but mighty hemp seed packs a powerful punch! It is a complete protein - containing all 9 essential and 11 non-essential amino acids and it is easily digested. It is filled with healthy fats, more than chia or flaxseeds and hemp is cholesterol free. It is loaded with nutrients such as magnesium, iron, and zinc. Eating just 3 tablespoons of hemp a day may help improve heart health, reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes, give you stronger bones, help with constipation and improve cognitive functions, boost immunity, just to give a few reasons to include this little seed in your diet. Most people are not allergic to hemp so it may be an option for family members with food sensitivities or allergies.
