Of all of Hemp’s uses, it stands out quite a bit as a Health Foods. It’s not only loaded with nutrients, but is rather versatile in terms of what it can be used for. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Check out this article from Suite101:
Hemp is extremely versatile. For starters, it contains all the essential amino acids in a balanced ratio, making it a high-quality source of protein, better than that found in other seeds, nuts, dairy products, meat, fish, or poultry. Hemp-based foods also have a high concentration of the antioxidants alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherol and alpha-tocotrienol. Both the seeds and oils are excellent sources of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids in a beneficial ratio of 3:1, along with two special EFAs: gamma linolenic acid (GLA) and stearidonic acid (SDA), which is rarely found in plant oils.
