Hemp- Plant Superfood

i'll get right to the point and if you're interested in some other aspects of hemp you can continue reading below. hemp is a superfood because it provides all of the essential amino acids making it one of the best plant based sources of protein. it is also a great source of balanced, essential fatty acids as well as fiber, minerals, vit. e, iron and gamma linolenic acid. on average 1 1/2 tbls. contain 5 grams of protein. those people who are lactose sensitive should think of using hemp protein powder as it is very easy to digest- unlike whey protein. it is also available as an oil although like evoo it should not be used with high heat and it should be refrigerated once opened. i add the hemp protein powder to many baked goods, shakes and my morning oatmeal.  if you haven't tried it yet you might give it a try.
    why have i included these photos? two very different products but both made from hemp. it is estimated that hemp has been grown for over 12,000 years and during colonial times it was a required crop because of its usage in ropes and especially sails. today more than 25,000 products use hemp in their production although in america there is still all the fuss about its close relative.  need i say more? there are so many benefits to this plant including the facts that it can supply more fiber per acre than wood,  is a better plant for fabric than cotton as cotton needs huge amounts of pesticides and hemp fabrics even block out more uv rays than cotton.  over all it is better for the environment and us. a super plant and a super food.
