Hemp seeds are one of the most complete
sources of protein available as well as a prolific food grain. Pasta, jam,
bread and many other foods may be produced with hemp seeds as a base, and these
foods are eaten by sports figures, those concerned with their health or anyone
looking for a meat-protein alternative. Containing all the healthy fatty acids
(Omega-), the seeds may be pressed into hemp oil used for cooking and nutrition
as well as taken medicinally for ailments such as ADHD, Eczema, Arthritis, Depression,
Multiple Sclerosis and menstrual issues. The mood and tissue stabilising
effects on the inside and healthy skin on the outside make hemp seed oil the
perfect dietary supplement for medical or health conscious users who wish to
protect their bodies and avoid synthetic ingredients.
Hemp food products are rapidly becoming
more popular among all types of people despite some prejudice concerning their
flavour and palatability. Contrary to past food products, those in modern
production boast a wide variety of flavours and textures that fit into any
culinary taste. In addition to savoury foods desserts and cakes can be baked
with hemp flour; hemp seeds (actually a nut covered with a hard shell or achene) are baked and seasoned, and hemp
beer, wine and sparkling wine are also produced around the world. Hemp dishes
are increasingly available on trendy restaurant menus and in healthy living
cookbooks.
Hemp oil products have enjoyed a long tradition
of use on the planet, employed in the production of paints, varnishes,
lacquers, engine and lamp oil, and much more. The cosmetic use of hemp seed oil
allows consumers to purchase natural or organic, hypo-allergenic and Omega-
rich lotions, shampoos and crèmes, promoting healthy skin, hair and nails and
lessening the effects of aging. Due to the excellent emollient effects hemp
beauty supplies are appearing in larger numbers in high street shops, tanning
salons and high-end hair care lines.
