Healthy Tidbits

 (Dr. Weil)
You can buy all sorts of great organic whole grains under 'Bob's Red Mill'. I really love the thick cut oatmeal.

Food as Medicine
Hemp seeds are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, highly digestible protein, and minerals including phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper and manganese. They are also gluten-free, so will not trigger symptoms of celiac disease.

(Wikipedia)
Hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life.^[15] The seeds can be eaten raw, ground into a meal, sprouted, made into hemp milk (akin to soy milk), prepared as tea, and used in baking. The fresh leaves can also be eaten in salads. Products range from cereals to frozen waffles, hemp tofu to nut butters. A few companies produce value added hemp seed items that include the seed oils, whole hemp grain (which is sterilized by law), hulled hemp seed (the whole seed without the mineral rich outer shell), hemp flour, hemp cake (a by-product of pressing the seed for oil) and hemp protein powder. Hemp is also used in some organic cereals, for non-dairy milk^[16] somewhat similar to soy and nut milks, and for non-dairy hemp "ice cream."^[17]
Within the UK, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has treated hemp as purely a non-food crop. Seed appears on the UK market as a legal food product, and cultivation licences are available for this purpose. In North America, hemp seed food products are sold, typically in health food stores or through mail order. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that "the market potential for hemp seed as a food ingredient is unknown. However, it probably will remain a small market, like those for sesame and poppy seeds."^[18]
