Hemp as a food source

Hemp as a food source comes from the seeds of the hemp plant, which is related to cannabis but contains little to no psychoactive compounds. Hemp seeds are highly nutritious, offering a rich source of plant-based protein, healthy fats like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They can be eaten raw, added to smoothies, salads, or baked goods, or processed into oil and protein powders. Hemp is appreciated for its sustainable cultivation—requiring minimal water and pesticides—making it an environmentally friendly option for nutritious food.
