Tabbouli used to be my go-to vegan Middle Eastern dish, aside from Hummus of course. That was until I went gluten-free. Since then I’ve been passing up on this tasty dish traditionally made with bulgar wheat.
Until NOW! Thanks to our happy little hippie seed, Mr. Hemp
Hemp seeds are a stellar superfood. A great source of fiber, hemp also touts an excellent 3:1 ratio of omega-3s to omega-6s! It is also packed with some serious nutrition including a host of minerals, vitamins, plus all the essential amino acids, making it a complete source of protein. Hemp seeds are great for heart healthy, good for digestion, skin conditions, and for balancing hormones. They also add just the perfect crunchy texture to this super easy to make tabouli recipe.
