Hemp Achar (Bhang ko Achar)
Bhang ko Achar ( नेपाली भँगको अचार) is a traditional Nepalese condiment made from Hemp Seeds, which is creamy and smoky. It is usually prepared as Aloo Bhang ko Achar (potatoes mixed with ground hemp seeds) or served as a smooth sauce made with tomatoes and hemp seeds. Whole hemp seeds (bhang) are completely non-psychoactive and are highly valued in Nepal for their rich, slightly nutty flavor and high nutritional value.
