Hemp Borscht

INGREDIENTS

 

2 large beets, shredded

100g Hulled Hemp Seeds

1 small onion

1 carrot

1-2 tbsp Tamari

1 tbsp fresh thyme

1 cup thick yoghurt, sour cream, buttermilk, or avocado (choose based on preference or to keep vegan)

2 tsp Hemp Gold Seed Oil

1 tsp salsa (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Water as needed

 

METHOD

Either blend vegetables with remaining ingredients to a smooth consistency or place in large pot with extra hemp oil and warm (don't boil) for five minutes (optional). Traditionally served in Poland at Easter and Christmas, a sprinkling of hulled hemp seeds, sprouts, yoghurt, pepper, dill, sour cream or lemon and raw honey finishes off this soup nicely. As recommended by long-life experts, buttermilk is milk deprived of the oily butter part, the milk sugar that has been mostly turned into lactic acid.

Add a little water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
