Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds (hemp hearts) weigh 160g per cup. They have a mild, nutty flavor and soft texture, making them easy to sprinkle on salads, yogurt, and smoothie bowls. Unlike chia and flax, hemp seeds do not form a gel in liquid. They are high in protein and healthy fats. Hemp seeds are perishable — store in the refrigerator once opened and use within three to four months. They can be blended into hemp milk or ground into hemp butter.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
