Hemp as a food

Nowadays Hemp seeds are “labeled” a Superfood! So if you are in need of fatty oils and large amounts of protein in your diet, then hemp seeds are the way to go. The most common form of food made with hemp seeds around the world is gruel, which looks quite a bit like what we would call oatmeal. You can also enjoy the leaves as roughage. You may experience slight side effects that result in a psycho-active experience, but the seeds will not make you high. If you look at the protein that is found within human blood, you will see a similarity to proteins found in hemp seeds.

The nice thing is hemp seed’s digestibility is so incredible that quite a few doctors will even give patients having trouble with standard foods hemp seeds to eat. Scientists used hemp seeds, also known as “edestine” as a model for different vegetable proteins. For those who need to increase their body’s fatty acids, the oil from hemp seeds is the perfect solution. Eating hemp seed oil can help reduce your risk for heart disease as well. Adults can get an adequate supply of both proteins and those essential fatty oils by simply eating a single handful of these little hemp seeds daily, and vegans (and vegetarians) will be able to get the proteins they need without adding any saturated fat to their diet.
