Our Hemp Heart pesto is soooo easy to whizz up as a quick addition to your snacking plate or as a sauce to toss through your pasta. We’ve used premium NZ grown Hemp Hearts in place of pine nuts in this recipe and the olive oil has been swapped out for our Hemp Seed Oil. What a tasty way to increase you Omega-3 intake!
