Why Add Hemp Seeds?

Hulled hemp seeds have a mild, slightly nutty flavour and soft texture that makes them incredibly versatile. They work particularly well in recipes like these clusters because they complement nuts, seeds, coconut and chocolate without overpowering the other flavours.

You can also sprinkle them over smoothie bowls, yoghurt, oats, salads and granola, or blend them into smoothies.

Make Them Your Own

Prefer things extra chocolatey? Drizzle additional dark chocolate over the tops. For a nut-free variation, leave out the almonds and cashews and increase the pumpkin and sunflower seeds.

You could also add cinnamon, cacao nibs or dried fruit to create your own version.
