For some, it is a symbol of freedom and free access to the plant. For others, it inspires fear or provokes laughter. The sight of a green hemp leaf usually evokes emotions, the problem is that not only positive ones. Negative attitudes can be linked to a lack of knowledge and prejudice, the result of years of indoctrination about hemp. The way to change them may be through education or direct contact with this raw material and using it in the kitchen! "De-legitimizing hemp through cooking" - this is the solution promoted by the author of the "Hemp in the Kitchen" project - blogger Smiling Spoon. During her upcoming cooking workshop, participants will prepare dishes with hemp products, including fresh leaves.
The public's awareness of hemp, its properties and its use in cooking continues to grow, unfortunately, further by many people this plant is perceived as harmful, which is why it is so important to de-stigmatize the stereotypes associated with hemp. Education is an important part of combating people's negative attitudes towards the plant, but it is much more effective to come into contact with it, tasting hemp products, testing them on yourself, preparing dishes with them and treating your loved ones.
