Together Hemp is a local superfoods company offering a selection of health foods centred around one ingredient––hemp hearts.
Hemp hearts are the inner portions of hemp seeds, and are a sustainable plant-based food. According to Together Hemp, each serving of hemp has comparable protein content to beef. Hemp hearts have an earthy, nutty flavour and are used to top salads, smoothie bowls or even just to snack on.
The hemp plant has grown in popularity in recent years for its versatility in all areas from food to skin care to clothing. Hemp is a sustainable resource with a minimal ecological footprint.
The plant has very low THC levels, so unlike its marijuana relative, hemp-derived products are non-psychoactive, meaning they do not get users high.
At Together Hemp, hemp hearts come ‘natural’, which is perfect for a stir-fry or salads, or with their maple flavour––made using organic maple sugar for a hint of sweetness.
The company also offers their own hemp protein powder that is made with 100 per cent hemp seed.
All products are non--GMO and are grown in Ontario without the use of pesticides or herbicides, and packaged with compostable materials.
Together Hemp can be ordered online through their website or picked up in select stores across Ontario.
