Hemp foods are packed with protein and essential nutrients for our bodies, including fiber and healthy fats.
Hemp protein contains high concentrations of arginine, a non-essential amino acid known to reduce blood pressure by controlling nitric oxide production and release. Furthermore, hemp contains an optimal omega 6:omega 3 ratio.
Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds (sometimes referred to as hemp hearts) feature a mild and nutty flavor and provide all nine essential amino acids essential for human nutrition.
Hemp hearts can be an excellent option for those concerned with their cardiovascular wellbeing as they contain omega-3 and omega-6 fats in an ideal balance, helping reduce cholesterol and triglycerides while simultaneously increasing blood flow by dilatation of arteries and veins.
Hemp seeds contain manganese, which has been shown to improve bone health by preventing calcium loss and stimulating production of osteocalcin, the protein responsible for building strong bones. Hemp seed oil provides a nutritious alternative to vegetable oils high in saturated fat; they remain stable at room temperature with a light neutral flavor; solvent extracted hemp seed oil may have stronger flavors depending on seed growth conditions and postharvest management as well as maturity of seeds harvested and sold; it may have an earthier, nutty or buttery flavor depending on harvest management practices as well as seed maturity levels.
Hemp Oil
Hemp seed oil is an excellent source of polyunsaturates and packed full of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, tocopherols, and phytosterols – plus its light texture makes it great for salad dressings while its subtle nutty flavour adds depth and zest to any meal.
Hempseed oil has long been recognized for its medicinal and skincare uses. It can effectively treat conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and itchy skin as well as strengthening immunity to viruses, bacteria and infections. Furthermore, topical application may reduce redness, itching and acne breakouts.
Hemp seed protein contains two primary proteins known as globulins and albumins. Hemp globulins contain 11S edestins with acidic a subunits and basic b subunits; hemp protein also boasts high amounts of glutamine for muscle recovery following exercise, and may provide benefits for heart health due to the gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content which may reduce triglycerides while simultaneously raising good cholesterol levels in blood vessels.
Hemp Milk
Hemp milk is an earthy-tasting, plant-based dairy alternative free from soy, gluten and lactose that boasts a creamy consistency with earthy tones similar to that found in nut milks. Perfect for hot or cold beverages as well as baking and recipe creation for savory foods; hemp milk also makes an excellent option for people who have dairy intolerance or allergies.
Hemp seeds and milk contain essential omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids that support cardiovascular, blood vessel, and circulatory health. Furthermore, magnesium assists with protein metabolism and cell membrane transport.
Hemp milk can be purchased in stores or made at home using fresh, premium quality ingredients. When crafting delicious hemp milk at home it should be enjoyed straight up, in smoothies or mixed in cereals and oatmeal; or it makes an amazing base for vegan lattes and coffee drinks alike!
Hemp Protein
Hemp protein powder adds energy and nutrients to any dish for an extra boost. Smoothies or baked goods made with hemp protein powder taste great; its subtle yet nutty flavor pairs perfectly with any recipe.
Hemp seeds contain essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 in an ideal ratio, helping promote heart health by keeping blood vessels flexible. Furthermore, hemp seed protein also contains amino acid arginine that converts into nitric oxide in your body – keeping arteries open while simultaneously lowering blood pressure.
Hemp protein contains both soluble and insoluble fibers that help regulate digestion, alleviate constipation and curb sugar cravings while supporting weight loss. Furthermore, hemp protein boasts high amounts of gamma linolenic acid – an essential fatty acid which benefits bone health by decreasing osteoporosis risk while simultaneously increasing bone growth and density – as well as being an excellent source of Vitamin E.
