 Vista, California, July 2007 - Recently, an article in the LA Times written by Janet Cromley came through our kitchen and caught our attention! “Soy’s New Competition: Hemp,” was truly a nutritional wake-up call.
Traditionally, hemp has been used commercially to make a diverse group of products, like rope and paper. Now, we have learned that this versatile plant’s seeds have remarkable nutritional properties. .  Just two tablespoons of hemp seeds contain 11 grams of protein with no cholesterol. And they are a great source of Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids! Preliminary research also indicates that these fatty acids may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
So, in recognition of this important nutritional discovery, Basiltops has created a new line of hemp based sauces. Hemp Seed Pesto, the mild, dairy free-vegan pesto, and its spicy counterpart, Pesto Gangisimo, are the most nutritious and delicious pesto sauces on the market today. Expect to see these two products on the shelves of your favorite Basiltops retailer very soon. In the meantime, you can order from us directly by visiting our website.
