Hemp Seeds

Description

Hemp seeds, derived from the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa), have emerged as a nutritional powerhouse gaining popularity for their health benefits and culinary versatility. Unlike its cousin marijuana, hemp seeds contain negligible amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound, making them safe and legal for consumption worldwide. These small, nutty-flavored seeds are rich in essential nutrients, including protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Hemp seeds are considered a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids necessary for human health. They provide a balanced ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, promoting heart health and reducing inflammation. Additionally, hemp seeds are a good source of dietary fiber, supporting digestive health and promoting satiety. Their impressive nutrient profile has made them a popular addition to various diets, from vegan and vegetarian to gluten-free and paleo, offering both nutritional benefits and culinary appeal.
