Many consider hemp as the ultimate crop grown and harvested today. Its versatility makes it possible for hemp to be used in nearly countless ways and in so many different applications. Hemp is used to produce myriad commercial and industrial products, such as rope, textiles, clothing, shoes, food, paper, bioplastics, insulation, and biofuel.
The most beneficial—and profitable—use for hemp is as a food source. Both hemp oil and seeds are an amazing superfood. They are high in Vitamin E, fiber, protein and contain Omega fatty acids—specifically, in a 3:1 ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6. This ratio is widely acknowledged to be optimum for the human body.
If you’re not impressed by the list above, then also consider that hemp oil can also lower cholesterol, improve skin problems, and help with digestion. The following sections show you how you can effectively blend hemp into your diet.
A reminder:
Don’t heat hempseed oil! The best way to use and consume
the oil is either cold pressed or at room temperature.
ADD HEMP SEEDS OR HEMP SEED OIL TO SALADS AND SALAD DRESSINGS
Sprinkle hemp seeds on salads or fold them into a pesto or hummus for healthy texture and a bit of crunch.
Add hemp seed oil to any kind of salad dressing or mix. You can also mix it with citrus fruits and something sweet. Now you have a well-balanced dressing that will complement any combination of fruits. Other tasty add-ons are honey mustard, miso, and tart vinegars if you like.
ADD CBD EXTRACT AND HEMP OIL TO A SMOOTHIE
Make a smoothie even more healthy and beneficial simply by adding CBD and hemp oil. Hemp contains all 20 amino acids! That includes 9 amino acids that our bodies cannot produce. Hemp oil is great for a pre-workout smoothie, and tart berries (blackberries, cranberries, or strawberries) are a delightful and healthy addition.
