Hemp seeds from the Himalayas are a true superfood, offering a wealth of wonderful benefits for those who consume them. First and foremost, hemp seeds are an excellent source of plant-based protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. This makes them a perfect addition to the diet of vegans, vegetarians, and anyone else looking to increase their protein intake.

In addition to protein, hemp seeds are also rich in healthy fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation and support heart health. They are also a good source of fiber, which can help promote healthy digestion and keep you feeling full and satisfied.

Hemp seeds are also loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. These nutrients can support overall health and well-being, helping to boost energy levels, improve immune function, and promote healthy bones and teeth.

Finally, hemp seeds are incredibly versatile and easy to incorporate into your diet. They can be added to smoothies, salads, or yoghurt bowls for a quick and nutritious boost, or used in baking recipes to add a nutty flavour and crunchy texture.

Hemp can be incorporated into a variety of dishes to provide added nutrition and flavor. Here are five Indian breakfast recipes using hemp that you can try:
