HEMP BANANA BREAD.

You know what? I really, really like hemp. It is probably my favourite food-- and I am not exaggerating. There are so many benefits from it-- not to mention it can also be used as a textile. renewable? YES.

I feel as though as a culture we have depended a lot on meat for protein. And, no-- I do not consider myself a vegetarian, but I do feel like we need to eat a lot less meat and find some cleaner sources of protein. Hemp just happens to fit that bill. It's a great source of protein ( complete protein ), good fats ( both EFA'S -- essential fatty acids ) and it is suitable for people who cannot have wheat or gluten!

If you live in Canada, you can be proud to know that we are a large producer of this great food!

I encourage you to read further on hemp.

I tried this recipe the other day and I thought it was awesome. I found it here. Thanks Hippie Butter Blog!!

I changed a couple of things only to cater to what I had in the house.
