HEMP HEALTH AND NUTRITION


* Hemp contains 25% - 31 % protein, second only to soy (35%), but the protein in hemp foods is more easily digestible.

* Hemp seed can be pressed into a nutritious Omega 3-6 oil, which contains the highest amount of fatty acids of any plant and is in the perfect balance to be used by the  human body. Fatty acids are only available from our diet and are responsible for our immune system responses and they clear the arteries of cholesterol and plaque.
 
* Ground hemp seed protein, often made into a protein shake powder, is one of mankind's finest, most complete and available-to-the-body vegetable proteins, superior to even soy.

*Hemp seed protein is unique from other seeds (including flax)  in that it contains all the amino acids essential to life. The very high density of nutrients per  calorie make hemp a good choice if your goal is quick weight loss.

* Hemp seed protein is 65% globulin edistin, which is the highest in the plant kingdom. It also includes albumin, so the protein is readily available in a form quite similar to that found in blood plasma.

* Hemp seed is an excellent source of calcium and iron and are also a good source of phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper and manganese.

* The byproduct of pressing the oil from hemp seed is high quality protein seed cake. It can be sprouted (malted) or ground and baked into cakes, breads, and casseroles.

* Eating hemp seeds could aid people suffering from immune deficiency diseases.

* Hemp seed is gluten free and consequently will not trigger symptoms of celiac disease.

* Hemp seed oil can be used as cooking oil, to be added to hot pastas or mixed with salad dressings.

* The Chinese have been using hemp seeds for constipation in their herbal formulas for thousands of years.

* Hemp seed "nut" (that which remains after the removal of the seed shell), may be added to many foods or incorporated in baking, and can withstand temperatures up to 300 degrees without hardening.

* Hemp oil has been shown to relieve the symptoms of eczema and have anti-inflammatory 
properties.
