The plant-based goodness of hemp seeds
Hemp seeds offer a convenient way to add extra nutrition to your everyday meals. A popular choice for plant-based diets, they’re as versatile as they are delicious, with a subtle nutty flavour. Healthylife offers a wide range of hemp seed products. Choose from whole or hulled varieties, opt for organic or try a tasty snack mix of hemp and other seeds.
What are hemp seeds?
Hemp seeds are the edible seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. They’re prized for their high nutritional value, thanks to essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and a high protein content. They’re also rich in a variety of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, potassium, magnesium and iron.
Hemp seeds contain minimal THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis. They’re also plant-based so they’re suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.
What are the health benefits of hemp seeds?
Thanks to the nutritional value of hemp seeds, they may offer a range of health benefits. They contain essential fatty acids – namely omega-3 and omega-6 – along with the amino acid arginine. These may support heart health. The fatty acids in hemp seeds may be of benefit to people experiencing inflammation.
Another quality of hemp seeds is that they’re rich in dietary fibre, which is known to aid digestion. As a protein source, hemp seeds contain all nine essential amino acids.
What is the best way to consume hemp seeds?
Hemp seeds are a versatile ingredient. Their subtle nutty flavour lends itself well to both sweet and savoury uses.
You can sprinkle hemp seeds on yoghurt, cereal or salads for added texture and flavour or make a hemp seed smoothie with other ingredients. You can also incorporate them into your baking, such as in pancakes or cakes.
It comes down to a case of personal preference and how you like to eat them.
What is the difference between hemp seeds and chia seeds?
Like hemp seeds, chia seeds are valued for their nutritional properties. They contain essential fatty acids, dietary fibre, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
One of the main ways hemp seeds and chia seeds differ is their texture. Hemp seeds are softer with a nutty flavour, whereas chia seeds have the ability to absorb water to form a gel-like consistency. This makes them ideal for use as a thickener in recipes.
