Day 19 of 31 Hemp Products: Food

May 19, 2015

HEMP PRODUCT: Food

SUB MARKETS: Nutrition, Protein Supplements, Vegan/Vegetarian

Day 19 of our 31 Days of Hemp campaign contains a variety of yummies to add important nutrients to your diet*: hemp foods. Often made of the seed core [hearts], shells [hulls], and/or hemp oil, recipes containing hemp are generally rich in essential amino acids, polyunsaturated fats (Omega 3 and Omega 6), fiber and minerals. Easy digestibility and high protein content make for a rich, plant-based supplement suitable for many dietary restrictions (i.e. vegans, vegetarians, and those with soy or tree-nut allergies). To read more on the edible benefits of seeds, check out our posts on hemp beverages and hemp protein powder.

A few of the tasty dishes we found include:

* Note, due to high amino acid content, especially arginine, hemp seed products can stimulate T-Cells and antibodies (i.e. the immune system). Individuals with autoimmune conditions should take caution and consult a medical professional before adding hemp supplements to your diet.
