Hemp seed is unique in the vegetable kingdom. Its profile of proteins and fats is the most complete and ideal for human nutrition. No other plant source, not even the soybean, compares to hemp in its range and balance of nutritional benefits, making hemp the world’Äôs premier food source. Hemp seeds have fiber, protein and essential fatty acids (EFAs). You can use the oil for salads and cooking, and the meal as flour for cookies, pizza, pasta and bread. You can even make veggie burgers, buns and cheese all from the hemp seed! Serious beer lovers think hemp based beer and ale tastes great and even just roasted seeds with salt are a tasty and nutritious alternative to fried potato chips.

Essential fatty acids are important compounds we must eat because our bodies do not manufacture them. Hemp is the earth’Äôs best source of EFAs not only because it has the highest total EFAs of any seed oil (80%) but also because the ratio of EFAs is considered the optimum balance for human health! EFAs lower blood pressure, help organ muscles to contract and regulate stomach acid and body temperature. EFAs are also necessary for the normal functioning of the reproductive system, hormone regulation and for breaking up cholesterol deposits in the arteries. Deficiencys of EFAs cause changes in cell structure that can result in brittle and dull hair, nail problems, dandruff, allergies and dermatitis. In fact, most diseases associated with aging from arthritis to liver spots on the skin, are the result of EFA deficiencies. Isn’Äôt it interesting that hemp seed also served as a primary food source during times of famine in China, Europe and Australia as recently as World War II? Hemp is a viable element in the fight against world hunger and is healthy for us all.
