Hemp in Food and Beverages: Understanding the Potential of This Versatile Plant

Hemp in Food and Beverages: Understanding the Potential of This Versatile Plant

If you've been to a health food store lately, you've probably noticed hemp products everywhere! Hemp milk, hemp protein powder, and of course, hemp-infused coffee are becoming increasingly popular. But what's all the fuss about? 

Separating Fact from Fiction

  • Hemp? Isn't That... ? Hemp belongs to the same plant family as marijuana, but it contains extremely low levels of THC (the psychoactive compound). Hemp is grown for its seeds, fiber, and nutritional value, not for its intoxicating properties! You won't get high from hemp products! 

  • Nutritional Value: Hemp seeds are a nutritional powerhouse. They are packed with healthy fats, plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals.  These little seeds contribute to a balanced diet and overall well-being.

 

Potential Benefits of Hemp

  • Heart health: The healthy fats in hemp seeds may support cardiovascular health.
  • Improved digestion: Hemp's fiber content promotes regularity and gut health.
  • Reduced inflammation: Studies suggest hemp's unique compounds may have anti-inflammatory effects.
