What do you do with hemp seed butter?

Common Uses: This butter is perfect for lotions, creams, and body butters . Especially designed to enhance formulations, its creamy texture enables it to be used as is by those with very dry, sensitive or weathered skin.

How long does hemp seed butter last?

Store in an air-tight container or a mason jar in the pantry or refrigerator for up to a month .

What happens to your body when you eat hemp seeds?

They have a rich nutritional profile and provide a range of health benefits. Benefits of hemp seeds include protecting the brain, boosting heart health, and improving skin conditions . Although hemp seeds come from the Cannabis sativa plant, they do not produce a mind-altering effect.

What does hemp seed do to the skin?

Hemp seed oil decreases inflammation and irritation and provides relief for discomfort related to certain skin conditions . It is often recommended by dermatologists as an alternative solution for acne, psoriasis, eczema, and atopic dermatitis as it promotes the growth of new healthy skin cells.

Do hemp seeds go bad if refrigerated?

Once opened, you can expect a bag of hemp seeds to last for about a year in the refrigerator or freezer . If you keep a package in your pantry, however, that shelf life will be more like 3 to 4 months. If you give your bag of seeds a sniff and they smell rancid, toss them.

How do you know if hemp seeds have gone bad?

A good rule of thumb to determine if your hemp seeds have gone bad, especially if they're stored in a home kitchen, is to use your senses. If you notice any changes in texture, color, or smell , this might indicate that your hemp seeds are no longer safe to eat.

Does hemp butter clog pores?

Non-Comedogenic: Hemp seed butter is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores . It's suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin.

Do you get CBD from eating hemp seeds?

Unfortunately, there isn't any CBD in seeds . If you purchase hemp seeds or hemp seed oil, you will not get any benefits of CBD. To get the full benefits, you want to get CBD products that tout they are “broad or full spectrum hemp oil.” This means most of the plant is used in the process.

What can I use CBD butter for?

CBD butter is a versatile and handy ingredient to have in the kitchen if you plan to make CBD edibles. You can make a wide range of delicious edibles using CBD butter, including brownies, cakes, pies, cookies, pasta, and even salads .

Recipe ReDux #16 Chocolate Hemp Seed Butter - Strength and Sunshine (2024)

Published: Feb 23, 2015 · Modified: Jul 23, 2017 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

The new best chocolate combo. Rich cocoa powder blended with hemp seeds. The perfect spread, day or night, that's gluten-free, vegan, paleo, and sugar-free. Decadence at its healthiest and tastiest!

Have you ever tasted something so good that it really made you pause, the world literally stops for a moment? I have. Not even joking, some foods can just be that good. It's those moments that you start to believe taste is the most important of the 5 senses. But then you snap back to reality and realize if you didn't have smell then taste would be pointless (they work together you know!). Like when you're sick and your nose is stuffed up. You can't taste a thing and it's just terrible! Plus, I always seem to be extra hungry if I have a cold (need the energy?), so it can really cause problems. Anyway, back to the recipe!

February’sTheme: Favorite Chocolate Matches–Does your chocolate need a friend? This month’s posting will be after Valentine’s Day, so you may have a bit of extra chocolate around. What’s your favorite chocolate match? Be it traditional peanut butter or something more exotic like cayenne + chocolate. Show us your favorite healthy chocolate combo recipe.

Not joking, I almost ate this whole recipe in one sitting. It's silly to even call a recipe since it's only 3 ingredients, but my o my, this stuff is crack! I love hemp seeds and obviously I ~~live for~~ adore chocolate. I go through containers of unsweetened cocoa powder like it's my job! And it has to be Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. Nothing fancy or expensive, just this good old intense, bitter cocoa. This may just be my new favorite ~~nut~~ seed butter. Spread this THICK on some apple slices and you'll be in heaven. That moment when the world stops will happen! It tastes so naughty, but there is nothing "bad" about it!

Chocolate Hemp Seed Butter

Ingredients: (makes enough to fill an 8oz jar)

+ 2 Cups Raw Hemp Hearts

+ 3 TB Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

+ 10 Drops Chocolate Stevia

+ 1 TB Water

Directions:

+ In a high-powered blender (or food processor), combine the hemp hearts, cocoa powder, and stevia. Pulse and blend until you get a butter consistency. Add a tablespoon of water if you need to get things a little more combined and moving. Blend it all up well and store in a jar, in the fridge, for however long it lasts <----- not long!

Hemp seed butter is so good! It's this crazy "nutty" perfect taste that just goes so well with the cocoa! I am so in love with this stuff! I really wish I had some now! By the way, this isn't a very "sweet" spread. You can add more or less sweetener depending on what you like! I kept the integrity of the unsweetened cocoa powder since I love it so much!

So tell me:

+ Are you one of those "Nutella people"? I've never had it. I love hazelnuts and chocolate though, so I'll have to make some vegan some time!

+ What's your favorite chocolate flavor combo? Really, chocolate on everything. I don't care, I will eat it if it has chocolate 😉

Major YES to this. I would love to spread this on my toast in the mornings. I see nothing wrong with starting your day with a little chocolate 😉

Girl, this is genius! I love hemp seeds but have never tried hemp seed butter. I gotta make this! As for my favourite chocolate combination... it's way too hard to pick! I love chocolate and nut butter, chocolate and berries, chocolate covered nuts, chocolate and bananas... I just love chocolate. On everything. I hope you had a warm and restful weekend!

  They blend up so nicely since the hemp hearts are so soft!

I know what you mean about the world stopping upon first bite thing...and those moments usually involve something chocolatey 😀 Have you ever tried the Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa? I kind of like it, but it definitely tastes quite different and it makes everything you use it in really dark brown! I understand that you're pretty specific about your Hershey's Unsweetened, but I was just wondering 🙂

  Haha, chocolate tends to have that effect 😉
  Nah, I like just the normal cocoa best! I will always be a dark dark lover, but for some reason the normal cocoa powder is just better!

I am a Nutella person when I'm in the mood for chocolate. I've made a vegan version of it that is pretty easy. Favorite combo will always be banana and chocolate. I could never resist an chocolate covered frozen banana. Your recipe looks great. I have yet to try hemp seeds though. I will have to try them in your recipe soon.

  I'm not a big banana person, love the flavor, but not the actual fruit! But a chocolate covered banana...I would so EAT!
  You will love them! They are the perfect little nutty seed!

Looks amazing! I love Justin's Chocolate Almond butter! I love all things chocolate, but something about a piece of chocolate covered apricot and a glass of champagne... the perfect combo! I need to use hemp seeds more often!

awesome! I would have never have thought to create this, but for vegans, how perfect! Love the idea of using hemp instead of nuts, very clever. As for foods making you stop....not sure I have done that, but I am constantly "mmmmm" ing to myself, does that count? 😉
