Very Cherry Bars

My Very Cherry Bars also contain hemp, which is has been a favorite of mine for the past year. I use hemp in my smoothies, salads and other food preparations.

Here are my top 5 reasons why you should embrace hemp seeds, too;

1. Hemp seed is the only seed that does NOT need to be germinated before eating; no enzymes inhibitors- so it is easy absorbed.

2. Hemp seed is the perfect balance of Omega 3 and 6.

3. Hemp seed is an incredibly powerful antioxidant known to fight cancer.

4. Hemp seeds have a massive trace mineral content.

5. Hemp seed s the perfect protein. 33% pure digestible protein, rich in iron, amino acids, vitamin E, omega-3′s and GLA – 2 Tbsp = 8g of protein, 2g carbohydrates, 12g fat; 150 calories.
