Just like the classic tofu that can be sliced, baked or scrambled, hemp tofu's versatility is what makes it so amazing! Which obviously means it's a great substitute for soy tofu!

Ingredients:

• Hemp 'tofu', mashed
• 1 finely chopped ginger root
• 1 shredded carrot
• 1 shredded zucchini
• half of a tomato, chopped
• small bunch of spinach
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• turmeric
• coriander powder
• salt/pepper
• oil (sesame or coconut)

Preparation:

• Heat coconut or sesame oil in a pan.
• Add cumin seeds and some ginger.
• Once it cooks a little, add scrambled 'tofu' and spices (turmeric, coriander, salt, pepper).
• When 'tofu' gets dry add veggies (carrots, zucchini and tomato).
• You can add some water so it doesn't burn.
• Once veggies are soft turn the heat off and add spinach.
• Cover the pan and wait for 1-2 minutes for spinach to get soft.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and sunflower seeds.

Benefits of hemp:

• Hemp does not contain enzyme inhibitors and phytates and hence the nutrients in hemp can be easily absorbed by the body.
• Hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids necessary to maintain healthy human life.
