Where to find hemp on the menu!

It is the hippest new ingredient hitting the cafe scene around the world and now Australian chefs are jumping on board too! We believe hemp can enhance any dish and encourage you not to just take our word for it, but check out these cool eateries and try it for yourself!

Sprout and Bean Cafe
1/163 Malop St, Geelong, Victoria 
This gorgeous little cafe in the heart of Geelong is serving up mouthwatering organic plant based meals.  Some of our favourite dishes include their moorish hemp banana bread, raw hemp balls and quinoa and seasonal spring greens hemp salad. Sprout & Bean are also keen believers in celebrating Hemp Day (Hump Day) and regularly create a new dish especially to get us over the middle of the week hump! Once you scoff all of these delicacies down, you can finish off with a hemp coffee. Perfection!
