After completing my volunteer shift at the Living Green Expo on Sunday, I browsed the many vendor booths set up in the Minnesota State Fairgrounds Grandstand Building. I was delighted to run across the Manitoba Harvest Hemp Seed Oil Company because I had been in my local food co-op on Saturday asking for hemp seed oil for a new raw food recipe I wanted to try and they didn't have any. I purchased two bottles from the company reps. I will ask my co-op if they can carry this brand for when I run out, but it can also be ordered directly from the company. (See link in recipe.) The Spinach Thyme Soup recipe, for which I needed the hemp seed oil, is from "Kristens Raw". I tried the soup recipe and it is very tasty and is, most importantly, extremely nutritious because of the ingredients and because it is uncooked.
