Simple DIY Hemp Milk
Did you know that hemp seeds contain all nine essential amino acids? These wonder seeds can reduce risk of heart disease, support healthy weight loss, aid digestion, and even improve hair, skin & nail health. Rich in protein, fiber, and other important nutrients, adding hemp seeds to your diet is a great way to maintain healthy nutrition.
With this in mind, we are excited to share with you a simple recipe to incorporate hemp hearts/seeds into your diet – as milk!
INGREDIENTS
• 1/2 cup organic hemp seeds
• 4 cups of filtered water
• 1-3 organic dates (depending on how sweet you like your milk)
• Pinch of salt
DIRECTIONS:
- Combine ingredients in a blender and blend for 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
- Sample the milk to see if it’s sweet enough to your liking.
- You do not have to strain hemp milk, as with many other nut or seed based milks. But if you wish to, you can use cheesecloth, nut milk bag or an old t-shirt.
- Simply pour into a glass jar and store in the fridge. Enjoy!

Fiddlehead season is here! After a long winter, fiddlehead season has finally arrived. Not familiar with fiddleheads or just want to learn a bit more about them, and how to cook them safely? Keep reading! You may have seen fiddleheads in the wild and not even realized it. That's because they are the furled fronds of a fledgling fern! The fiddlehead is the spiral of the plant that would unroll into a new frond of the fern plant. They are harvested before they unfurl, early in the season. Only the fiddleheads from certain fern varieties are safe to consume. Fiddleheads should never be eaten raw and must be cooked a certain way to be safe to eat, so be sure to follow the instructions below. Fiddleheads have been part of traditional diets in Northern France since the Middle Ages, and amongst many North American Indigenous populations for centuries. They are also popular in Asian cuisine dishes like gulai pakis.
