An excerpt from our Chef’s Notebook: The se’SAME’ tahini based hummus needs a revamp. What if we replace it with the Hemptyful Unsweetened Spread? It’s got a super tangy flavour that can make the revamp truly outstanding and the creaminess similar to tahini. We can call it the HHH – Healthy Hemp Hummus as the hemp will add proteins, omega-3s and a host of vitamins & minerals to the traditional tahini version
