From a health perspective, hemp products are amazing and
so simple to add to your diet. Tara Miko from Happy Hemp
walked us through everything we need to know about hemp.
Hemp seeds
are the most
nutritionally balanced
food source on
planet earth.
Jam packed with nutrients,
edible hemp seeds come from
the industrial hemp plant. While
it is in the plant family known
as Cannabis, eating hemp
seeds will not cause you to
fail a drug test or make you
high.
There are over 25,000 uses for
hemp from food to fabric to fuel.
People have been eating hemp seeds for
thousands of years. It has been said that
Buddha ate nothing but one hemp seed a
day while seeking enlightenment.
Hemp seeds are a complete source of
plant based protein. In only 3 tablespoons
there are 10 grams of protein. More than
meat, poultry, fish or tofu!
SUPER
FOOD!
Eating hemp seeds will not
cause you to fail a drug test or
make you high. It only provides
amazing superfood goodness.
Hemp helps with digestion,
immune function, weight management,
blood circulation, healthy sleep, hormone
balance, hair, skin and nails.
No other plant source on the planet has
the perfect ratio of omegas in such an
easily digestible form. These essential
fatty acids are crucial for heart health
and brain function.
Hemp seeds contain all of the vitamins
and minerals that the body needs on a
daily basis. Magnesium, iron, zinc,
vitamin E, vitamin B and many more!
