HEMP FLOUR

What is hemp flour?

Hempika hemp flour is a by-product of hemp seed oil pressing, produced by grinding the hemp cake in a stone mill.

Packed with protein and dietary fiber, hemp flour is the superhero of gluten-free baking. It’s not only easily digestible but also exceptionally nutritious, loaded with healthy fats, vitamins (E, B1, B6), and essential minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, and calcium.

Hemp flour has a nutty flavor and a slightly greenish hue, adding a unique earthy touch to baked goods. It can be used in various recipes, including bread, pasta, pizza, pancakes and cookies.

Key benefits of hemp flour

Hemp flour is more than just a gluten-free alternative—it’s a nutritional powerhouse. Here’s why it deserves a place in your kitchen:

• High in Protein: Hemp flour is a great source of plant-based protein, containing all nine essential amino acids, making it an excellent choice for vegans and vegetarians.
• High in fiber: With its impressive fiber content, hemp flour may support digestion, contribute to gut health, and help regulate blood sugar levels.
• Gluten-Free: Naturally free from gluten, hemp flour is suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, offering a wholesome alternative to traditional flours.
• Easily Digestible: Unlike many other flours, hemp flour is gentle on the stomach, easy to digest, and suitable for individuals with sensitive digestive systems.
• Rich in Essential Nutrients: Loaded with vitamins and minerals, hemp flour supports a balanced diet and overall well-being, making it a valuable addition to your meals.

How to use hemp flour?

If you haven’t started using hemp flour in your recipes yet, you indeed are late for the hemp party!

Why not try hemp pancakes or yeast-free hemp bread? Or perhaps experiment with homemade hemp pasta? The possibilities are endless, and your creativity is the only limit. With hemp flour, you can prepare countless healthy and delicious meals.

Hemp flour works best when mixed with other flours—typically at a ratio of 30% hemp flour to 70% other flours—but in some recipes, it can completely replace traditional flour.

Pro tip: Since hemp flour is gluten-free, you may need to add binding agents, such as eggs, to achieve the desired texture in certain baked goods.
