Scandinavian Bran Crisps With Hemp Seed Butter
This was a complete miss... The bran crisps from Scandinavia lose out by far to the tried and true Armenian ak-mak crackers. Furthermore, I didn't quite care for the taste of this hemp seed butter from Manitoba Harvest. The calories are just like any nut butter (about 200 cals for 2 tablespoons), but the taste was just not rewarding enough to justify that calorie count. The consistency and texture were fine, but the taste was the main drawback... somewhat grassy and not really that nutty in my opinion. This has seriously got to be one of the few nut/seed butters that failed to meet my approval.

I love the light nutty flavor of hemp seed butter. It's green color can throw some people off but if you close your eyes you'll love what you taste. Hemp butter is great in smoothies.
