Recently, I started making my mother’s corn crisps again. This recipe, which appears in our first cookbook now called If Kallimos Had a Chef, is even more fun and delicious with the addition of hemp. Why hemp seeds? Because they are a nutritional powerhouse with easy-to-digest protein and lots of fiber. Hemp is also an excellent source of essential fatty acids, phytosterols, carotenes, vitamin E and vitamin C, and chlorophyll (helps prevent bad breath). But so we don’t fall into the trap of defining food by nutritional attributes instead of taste and pleasure, how does hemp taste? Like sunflower seeds. Nice nutty flavor. Delicious.
