Unsweetened Non-Dairy Hemp Beverage

"Yes, hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant, but its usefulness extends far beyond therapeutic drugs. Hemp has been used for centuries to make clothing, rope, and paper-and the seeds of the plant have been used in baking and even to make beverages, as in Trader Joe's Unsweetened Non-Dairy Hemp Beverage. Our Beverage is very simply a base of shelled hemp seeds that have been crushed and blended with water. (Think almond "milk," but with hemp seeds instead of almonds.) Added to that is a little sea salt for balanced flavor and some emulsifiers to provide a silky-smooth texture. The aroma and taste is slightly nutty; even bean-y, if you will. In fact, it's surprisingly refreshing! And if you're looking for a plant-based alternative to dairy, this Hemp Beverage works on all the same eating occasions as milk: in cereal, coffee, tea, smoothies, or just chilled in a frosty mug."
