    Hemp Seed Pesto that Suits Almost Any Diet, from Raw Vegan to Paleo

    By Alisa Fleming on May 11, 2010 Dairy-Free Recipes, Sauces

    I discovered this simple recipe for hemp seed pesto in the Raw Power newsletter, and Thor (I love that the founder of Raw Power is named Thor!) welcomed us to share it with you. It’s the perfect sauce or condiment for spring.

    Last year I was introduced to Raw Power Protein Superfood, but the company has quickly expanded beyond their own product line. They have recently introduced the Raw Power Super Store with over 500 raw food products.

    Thor is a big supporter of dairy-free and raw food diets, and had the following to say:

    I Am Grateful is a great book, put together by the folks at Cafe Gratitude. Lots of REAL, tried and true recipes. I chose this as recipe of the month for our newsletter because we think this is a fresh way to use nutritious and delicious hemp seeds. Yummy on salad greens, stuffed in veggies cut paper-thin to make rawviolis, or atop zucchini noodles.
