The important nutritional value of hemp

Hemp seeds, which never contain THC (the active ingredient in marijuana), are one of nature's most perfectly balanced food sources and represent the plant food with the highest nutritional value. They can be used to prepare delicious meals that guarantee a good supply of vitamin E, amino acids, and essential fatty acids, thus ensuring a strong and healthy body, a well-functioning immune system, well-being, and vital energy.

Hemp seeds have a protein content of 20-25%, while hemp oil, which accounts for approximately 30% of hemp seeds, contains approximately 75% essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic (omega-6) and linolenic (omega-3) acids, in the right proportions to promote cell turnover. They also contain 2% to 4% gamma-linolenic acid, which contributes to the maintenance of the hormonal system and lipid metabolism, as well as being essential in the synthesis of prostaglandins, substances that regulate the activity of numerous glands, muscles, and nerve receptors. Thanks to their high concentration of fatty acids, hemp seeds are valuable for combating and preventing various ailments, including arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, osteoarthritis, respiratory diseases (such as asthma, sinusitis, and tracheitis), eczema, and acne.

Hemp seeds are rich in lecithin, known as "brain food," and important minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. Their carbohydrate content is also noteworthy, giving them a high energy value (516kcal per 100g).

“No food can compare to hemp in nutritional value. Half a kilo of hemp seeds provides all the protein, essential fatty acids, and fiber necessary for human life for two weeks.”
