What can everyone tell me about Hemp Flour?

I'm searching for info and how much to add in on breads... Embarassed

We got a new organic store (really big!) here in my area and that was one of the many gluten free options available. I got a box and now I'm scratching my head saying "now what?" Laughing

I found some chocolate made with hempseed and it was so good, it tasted almost like hersheys, with more chocolate and less cost (no import!). Very Happy

So that one is a definite "do it again".

DH said we've hit our monthly budget, so he doesn't want to go to the store until next month... Rolling Eyes

and we're out of chocolate.. Laughing

I haven't used hemp flour yet (and won't). When I first went GF I bought some hemp wraps at the HFS. They were absolutely vile. I took a taste of one, and immediately spit it in the sink. My best friend was at my house that day and told me I was being too fussy. She'll eat anything. However, she tried one, and had the same reaction. So, I guess there is one thing she won't eat. I think if I were going to use it, I would go really light at first.

BTW, I'm of a certain age that remembers when it was illegal to put hemp in things like brownies. Wink

Yeah, I know, a slightly different form, but IMO it still should be illegal after tasting those wraps. Laughing

Duuude - That's a downer - I think you really should give hemp a fair chance, y'know? It's totally righteous stuff, man...

Yes, hemp torts are pretty nasty, but tolerable when eating sliced beef w/ lots of onions and mustard.
I use hemp powder in my smoothies and it adds lots of fiber, protein and a gentle, nutty flavor. Very palatable.

Hemp is really amazing in that it can be used as food, fuel, fiber for fabric, rope and other stuff, as well as soothe the masses. Laughing

I use about 1/4 cup of hemp flour in recipes that are about 1 1/2-2 cups of flour. Delicious.

It has been a very long time since I thought about it Wink

, but as I recall, the reason that you were supposed to use brownies when adding the other forms of hemp was that you needed a very strong flavor to override and kill the taste of the illegal forms of hemp that you were using.

Ya'll are a riot! LOL

Here is a link to a recipe link http://www.globalhempstore.com/hemp-food/index.html?referrer=Google&gclid=CMbohv6by5YCFQoHswodjk_Kyw

The Hemp is supposed to provide lots of protein and even has magnesium and the Omegas that you might want to add to the food value of your food.

Let me know how it comes out when you try it. Hey, if nothing else, you might would use it to 'open your sinuses'. LOL Laughing

I cooked with it last night and had a winner recipe. I made "oven fried chicken "nuggets"". I put that in quotes since it was gulash cuts of meat, and smaller than most nuggets.

I soaked it in milk that I had spiced and salted for about an hour (give or take) and did about 1 cup millet and 1 TBS+ 1Tsp of hemp flour to roll it in.

cooked it on a cookie sheet that had been buttered well for about 15 minutes at 400F, flipping once.

I absolutely loved it, but DH said it tasted too "Whole wheat" for his tastes Rolling Eyes

(he prefers his breading starchy, with no substance and as sugary as possible -- i.e. no minerals or vitamins left)

It went well with rice and carrots.

I just wanted to add that I am using this in small amounts for breaded food items and it comes out really well and I'm not craving some of the vitamins like I had been before Embarassed

I might have used about 1/2 cup out of the 2 pound box I purchased.
