There seems to be no end to the great uses for hemp and hemp products. I’m still at a loss for why more people don’t include hemp in their diet. If you’re looking for a natural product that will add flavor as well as nutrients to your daily intake then you are missing out if you don’t consider the benefits of hemp seeds.

Add hempseeds to your diet, and you’ll get:

Protein. Highly digestible and absorbable protein including all essential amino acids – this makes hempseeds a “complete” protein.   What’s more, the structure of the proteins, which are globular proteins, are similar to ones manufactured in our blood making them readily digestible and usable by our bodies.   Eat 100 calories-worth of hempseeds and you’ll get 5.5 grams of protein – a great source of vegetarian protein at that!

Some people need more encouragement then others so if you are one of those types then why not try one of these three recipes. I’m particularly interested in the Hemp Seed Bars though the Hemp Pesto sounds great too and no worries, hemp isn’t going to get you high.
