Hemp hearts make for a great breading substitute. Hemp seeds would be a bit too hard, whereas hulled seeds have just the right density and texture for breading.
Hemp hearts as a crunchy coating (breading) for chicken and a variety of fish. Hemp heart-based breading is high in nutrients, as well as a gluten-free substitute for marinades and bread-based coatings. This is fantastic for people on a gluten-free diet. If you are not on a gluten-free diet you can create a balance that suits you, for example, fifty percent panko and fifty percent hemp hearts.
Hulled hemp seeds also make for great crustings on dishes such as salmon or cod, again it’s all about balance and seeds are a sure way to add diversity to your recipes that called for crusting.
Hemp hearts can also be added to marinades and glazes, adding nutrition, as well as texture, and some flavorful pop to your usual marinades and glazes.
