To make this delicious spread, start with hemp seed butter from your favorite grocer. There are many commercially available high-quality varieties; just be sure to double-check the ingredients list for any Avoids. If you’d rather make your own butter, simply ground up two cups of hemp seeds, and add linseed or olive oil as needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
