What goes with Hemp Seed?
Hulled hemp hearts are soft, small seed pieces with an oily, mildly nutty character. Removing the hard outer hull makes them suitable for direct use in sauces and spoonable dishes. Whole unhulled hemp seeds give a much firmer texture and are not an equivalent replacement in a smooth dressing.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Hemp Seed?
Fresh herbs and citrus give definition to the seed's rounded richness. In a sauce for roasted vegetables, hemp can supply body rather than acting as a decorative sprinkle. If the dish also contains tahini or another seed paste, decide which should lead so the result is not simply an undifferentiated fatty coating.
