Hemp Seeds
Hemp - misunderstood and under rated. Farmers, since 1937, have been prohibited growing hemp seeds in the U.S.. This is just another way for a natural resource to not be able to reach us at local markets. We can import, as most farmers do, from Canada and other sources. This crop can be grown without the use of pesticides or commercial agriculture!!! What in the world are we waiting for????? We could all do without the use of chemicals in our food, right? We could all do with a natural seed to be worked into clothing....right?
Maybe it is the myth that needs to be debunked of "you can get high if you eat hemp seed"! The farmers are working hard to educate, bring awareness of this versatile seed and definitely enlighten the masses that this hemp is the not the same as marijuana with little to no THC residual in the seed and absolutely no drug value.
Hemp seeds have been eaten for thousands of years. They are full of nutrition with fiber, high quality protein, all omega essential fatty acids, amino acid essentials , iron, zinc and magnesium. A versatile seed that can be eaten raw, ground into hummus or pestos, milk, baked and clothing.
You can begin by making your own recipes or look for several awesome products at your local markets. I am, for one, a huge fan of this little bundle of awesomeness. How about you?
