Hemp oil is has so many health benefits, and we love discovering new ways of bringing it into our diet. Hemp oil is a great source of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids (great news for people who don’t eat fish), but other oils like avocado and macadamia are better for cooking than hemp. So we've come up with a great raw recipe to get all those good fats! As an added benefit, what could be tastier than nuts, cacao and BPA-free Ayam coconut cream? Yum!
(Note hemp oil should be kept out of sunlight and in a coloured glass container to stop it going rancid. also try to keep it at room temperature, or below.)
