Background of Hemp Seeds as Nutrition

It is incredible to think that the world has almost completely dismissed hemp as a food source globally. Marijuana seeds are in fact very high in nutritional value, and have been consumed by humans and animals alike for centuries, it only seems to be recent decades which have seen marijuana or cannabis seeds decline as a popular food. China for instance, has seen its entire population sustained on marijuana seeds as its staple diet during times of famine, and when you go to visit the cinema, you can still buy roasted cannabis seeds just like we can buy popcorn in the western world.

Nutritional Properties of Hemp Seeds

Marijuana seeds have three particularly valuable nutritional properties. Firstly they are crammed full of amino acids, with a very high protein value. Secondly, cannabis seeds contain massive amounts of trace elements and minerals, and lastly, they contain an ideal balance of Omega six and Omega three.

People with a low intake of fatty acids will also benefit by consuming marijuana seeds, great for athletes or other people who work in professions which burn body fat fast. Additionally, cannabis seeds make a perfect part of a vegetarian of vegan diet, offering almost meat like protein and fat content, in a suitably vegetarian package.

Other Benefits of Hemp Oils

More benefits of consuming marijuana seeds include the anti-ageing effect that the natural oils have upon the skin and hair, along with the nourishment provided to both hair follicles and skin regeneration cells. Studies have proven that Hemp Oil used as Skincare has better anti-ageing effects than 80% of the Commercial Products around.

Let us not forget that marijuana seeds grow naturally, with no additional fertiliser or pesticides required to maintain a healthy crop, in many ways they are the original organic product, the bread of the masses, one can only speculate as to why they have begun to decline as a staple food source over the last century.
