Hemp Seeds are full of nutrients such as protein and essential fatty acids.
There’s been discussion, lately, about airlines banning peanuts because of allergy concerns. But could you imagine what would air travel be like without those single serving bags of honey roasted peanuts?
Well, Richard Davis can. According to FlashNews, Mr. Davis has created hemp nuts, and he thinks they might have a future in the air travel business.
Richard Davis of hemp-based snack company, Blue Sun Corporation, has just created Honey Roasted Hemp Nuts, little packs of hemp seeds that taste similar to seasoned beer nuts.
With recent talks of airlines possibly banning peanuts due to allergies, Davis is hoping to offer Hemp Nuts aboard airplanes as an alternative to the classic in-flight snack.

Davis is currently pitching the peanut substitute to Southwest and Alaska Airlines.
Whether or not the airline industry takes Davis up on his idea, I’m still stoked to try these hemp nuts. Corn nuts and soy nuts have become widely popular snack items, so I can only imagine how tasty hemp nuts would be.
