Hemp Goes Mainstream with: Granola, Tofu, and Vodka

I knew it was time to write another installment of Hemp Goes Mainstream the moment I stumbled upon hemp tofu. But more on that in a moment.

The truth is, hemp is popping up everywhere—and honestly, many of us are saying, “Finally!” From clothing to construction materials, the hemp plant is making waves across industries. And while the momentum is exciting, it also raises an important question: are we finally beginning to shift toward more sustainable choices?

In this edition, we’re exploring three hemp-based innovations you may not have heard of yet—hemp granola, hemp tofu, and hemp vodka. Let’s dive in.

Hemp Granola: A Crunchy Twist on a Classic

Hemp granola builds on the same foundation as traditional granola—oats, seeds, and a bit of sweetener—but gives it a hearty boost with hemp seeds, hemp oil, or even hemp-infused coconut oil or honey. These ingredients bring a pleasantly nutty flavor and a unique texture to the mix.

Many people enjoy hemp seeds for their plant-based origins and natural versatility. Hemp granola has become a popular choice for those looking to shake up their breakfast or snack routines with something a little different.

Hemp Tofu: Yes, It’s a Thing

As a vegan who regularly enjoys tofu, I was very curious when I heard about hemp tofu—also known as hempfu. Unlike traditional tofu, which is made from soybeans (a common allergen), hemp tofu is made from hemp seeds, making it an appealing alternative for those who avoid soy.

The texture of hemp tofu is a bit denser and grainier than soy-based tofu, thanks to the seed-based composition. It offers an interesting swap for anyone experimenting with plant-based proteins or looking to diversify their vegan options.

Hemp Vodka: A Surprising Sip

This one took me by surprise—hemp vodka! But when you think about it, it makes sense. Vodka is typically made from fermented plant materials like potatoes or wheat. Swapping in hemp seeds is just another innovation in the world of craft spirits.

While vodka and health rarely go hand in hand, some enthusiasts appreciate that hemp vodka uses a plant-based, protein-rich base. Plus, it’s definitely a conversation starter at your next cocktail hour.

The Takeaway

As hemp continues to gain momentum across industries, we’re seeing more creative applications pop up—some expected, others delightfully surprising. From snacks to spirits, hemp is being used in new and intriguing ways, adding texture, flavor, and innovation to everyday products.
