Grow your own Hemp...
A wonderfully versatile seed that offers two ways to enjoy it – grow your own hemp in the garden or sprout the seeds at home!
Industrial hemp (i.e. low THC) is a fast-growing annual plant with a fascinating range of uses. Given a sunny position and good growing conditions, it can produce a generous harvest of nutritious seeds, rich in plant-based protein, essential fatty acids and minerals.
Best Ways to Eat: Because the shell is quite tough, whole seeds are best eaten toasted or roasted as a crunchy snack or salad or cereal topper, or ground into a fine meal to add to baking (in a blender or coffee mill for example), or added to smoothies.
And the seeds are just the begining - hemp plants can be used for all sorts of things. For example the leaves and flowers:
- Chop fresh leaves into garden salads for a peppery taste.
- Dry the leaves or flowers to make an herbal tea or tisane.
- Use dried hemp flower as a culinary herb or infuse it into oils for cooking
Grow your own: In New Zealand, plant outdoors in October or November, once conditions are warming up. With a good growing season, plants will be ready to harvest around March. A rewarding addition to the home garden, with the bonus of harvesting your own hemp seeds. Depending on growing conditions, one healthy female plant will produce from around 500 up to a couple of thousand hemp seeds in a single season (sometimes as much as 5000!). Plenty to enjoy, save for next year, or alternatively sprout.
Or sprout them: These hemp seeds can also be sprouted at home and enjoyed as fresh, nutritious sprouts. Add to salads, sandwiches, smoothies and other dishes for a little extra goodness.
LEGAL TO GROW: Since 28 May 2026, anyone in New Zealand can grow hemp at home without a licence. You let NZ Police and MPI know before you plant, and that's the whole process. Just complete a form and fire it off in two quick emails, no licence or approval required. Its simply a notification.
It is a very simple a 5 minute job, - (i.e. the form is short - name, address etc). More information can be found here: https://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/publication/nz-police-hemp-notification-form

- Whole Hemp seeds: • Nutritional Profile: High in both insoluble and soluble dietary fiber due to the hard outer shell. They still contain all the internal protein and essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6), but the total protein per gram is slightly lower because the fiber shell adds weight. • Texture & Taste: They have a very crunchy, hard outer shell with a nutty flavor inside. • Best Ways to Eat: Because the shell is quite tough, whole seeds are best eaten toasted or roasted as a crunchy snack, ground into a fine meal to add to baking, or blended into smoothies where a high-powered blender can break down the shells.
- • Grinding into a Meal: Run the dry, raw seeds through a clean coffee grinder or food processor. You can sprinkle this high-fiber, high-protein flour into porridge, baking mixes, or bread dough. • Smoothies: Throw them into a high-powered blender with your fruits and liquids. The blades will pulverise the shells, ensuring you digest the entire seed. • Hemp Milk: Blend raw whole seeds with water, then strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or fine cheesecloth. You get all the creamy nutrition from the inside, and you can discard (or compost) the leftover tough shells.
