These Zucchini Noodles with Hemp Seed Pesto taste so fresh and full of life! It's 100% Raw and Vegan - fits all diets and lifestyles!

Hemp seeds are truly a nutritional powerhouse! They are loaded with omega 3s and 6s - the ratio is a little heavy on the 6s, but they still have plenty of omega 3s. Omega fatty acids are good for heart health and brain health - keeping your mind sharp and mood right!

Their amino acid profile is to die for - they’ve got all 20 amino acids, and even all 9 essential amino acids. They also have iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, and A, B, E and even, wait for it, D vitamins! But you should still get some time in the sun anyway!

Go eat some hemp right now, seriously. I think I’ve just convinced myself to go have a giant salad with hemp seeds. Or, this awesome noodle dish.
