Organic Hemp Seed Bars

"The history of hemp goes way back - farther back than actual recorded history goes, in fact. It's largely considered to be one of the first plants ever cultivated by humans for use in making cloth or fiber, and there's even a fair amount of evidence to suggest that it was the first plant to be cultivated by humans...ever! For close to 10,000 years, people have grown hemp to make rope, clothing, paper, and, in the form of hemp seeds, food. And now, after all that history (and pre-history), hemp makes a grand contribution to humanity's most noble pursuit, snacking, with Trader Joe's Organic Hemp Seed Bars. Made for us by the same folks that make our Organic Chia Bars, our Organic Hemp Seed Bars start off with the same great premise: organic ingredients, pressed together into a soft-textured, but still satisfyingly crunchy, grab-and-go snack. Each 120-calorie bar is crafted with organic almonds, cashews, crisped brown rice, gluten free rolled oats, wild blueberries, currants, and, of course, hulled hemp seeds. In addition to imparting a delicately earthy flavor, the hemp seeds also bring some serious nutritional benefits in the form of amino acids and fiber. With their mellow balance of nutty, crunchy, soft, and sweet, Trader Joe's Organic Hemp Seed Bars are remarkably versatile. They're equally fitting as a convenient breakfast treat on your morning commute (a box of five Bars means one for every weekday), a quick mid-hike energy fix, or a post-soccer game goodie for when it's your turn to be the team's snack-supplier. Just remember, when you sink your teeth into one of these bars, you're sinking your teeth into 10,000 years of agricultural history. Consider it research."
