Hemp: A Plant Powerhouse
A few years ago, when Doozy Pots was just a twinkle in our eye, two questions popped into our founder's mind, “Why aren’t more people eating hemp?” and “Can hemp be used to make the most delicious, healthier, and more environmentally friendly gelato?”.
Since then, we’ve been on a mission to create the best non-dairy ice cream using hemp hearts to replace milk, cream & eggs. The more we work with hemp, the more we love it. It is truly a plant powerhouse benefitting both our health and the health of our planet.
