Hemp Seeds – Excellent Plant Protein Provider

Hemp seeds are the seeds of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa. They are from the same species as cannabis (marijuana) but a different variety. However, they contain only trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana. Hemp seeds are exceptionally nutritious and rich in healthy fats, protein and various minerals.

Hemp seed food products offer the following: the ideal ratio of Omega-3/Omega-6 fatty acids, all 9 essential amino acids, digestible protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B12, folic acid, vitamin D, magnesium, iron, and zinc.

Hemp seeds are also rich in antioxidants, fibre, various minerals, and many vitamins including a hefty dose of vitamin E. They have been used to reduce dry skin and hair, help with muscle regeneration, reduce inflammation, ward off heart disease, and improve immune system function.

These nutritious and healing seeds are starting to be a favourite among vegans and health fanatics, and are often added to smoothies, cereals, oatmeal, and on top of salads.

B&E VITAMINS          

Hemp Seeds contain Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin) Vitamin B9 (Folate), and Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), which are all necessary for energy production in the body. Hemp Seeds also contain Vitamin E, which is rich in anti-oxidants.

OMEGA &6

Hulled Hemp Seeds are a natural source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and contain the perfect ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 of 3:1. These fatty acids can only be obtained through diet.

 MAGNESIUM

Hemp refers to strains of cannabis sativa that have been bred specifically for fiber used for clothing and construction, oils and topical ointments, nutritional benefits, and a wide and growing variety of other purposes that don’t involve intoxication.

 

There are different varieties of hemp — a plant grown for seed isn’t necessarily the best plant for fiber.

Hemp seed oil can be used topically in many different ways: as a skin moisturizer, anti-wrinkle treatment, massage oil, etc. It can be used to treat eczema, acne, psoriasis, and skin inflammation. The ideal balance of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids in hemp seed oil stimulate the skin and improve the overall function of cells, muscles, tissues, and organs. And don’t forget the skin is our largest organ!

Hemp seed oil can be used directly on the skin or you can use it as a carrier oil mixed with a few drops of essential oils that also benefit the skin, such as geranium or frankincense essential oils. This makes for a great skin moisturizer that is paraben free, gluten free, and 100% vegan. You can also purchase pre-made body moisturizers enriched with hemp seed oil.
