by Jennifer W. Digital Marketer

Hemp seeds are primarily used for industrial purposes, but it is also rich in nutritional applications. Moreover, hemp significantly has nutritional factors that many people are not aware of. 

 

Hemp seeds can be purchased in both plain and shelled varieties, but if you buy them from the best USA based seed banks, you will get a combination of quality and reliability. These two contrasting varieties of seeds offers a bit different nutritional source. Along with their shells, hemp seeds are known for their insoluble fiber. 

 

“Note: Hemp seeds are rich in proteins, unsaturated fats, and other minerals and vitamins.” 

 

Moving forward, there is a lot to know about hemp seeds available in the market- like the reason behind its popularity, its properties, and more. 

Read on!

 

·         Protein:

 

Hemp seeds consist of a good amount of seeds - in every 30 grams of seeds, or about three tablespoons, there is 9.45g of protein. 

 

“Note: These seeds are a strong source of protein, which means they are rich in all nine essential amino acids. It could be said that amino acids are the building blocks for all proteins.”

 

However, few plant-based foods are a great source of protein, but hemp seeds add a valuable standard as they are especially rich in amino acids called arginine.  

This is one of the reasons why growers love to grow hemp seeds indoors!

 

  • Unsaturated Fats:

 

As the craze of hemp seeds is booming worldwide, people are exploring more about the seeds, production methods, functioning, and more. And here, as per the research and studies, we got to know that hemp seeds are a great source of essential fatty acids, such as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is an omega-3. 

 

“Note: The hemp seeds are low in saturated fats and contain no Trans fats.”

 

  • Fiber:

 

Moreover, hemp seeds are packed with fiber, which lies in the outer hull or shell- if it is possible, then you can buy hemp seeds with the hulls intact. You can easily find hemp seeds with hulls intact in the reliable USA based seed banks.

 

 

“Note: However, if the seeds are without shells, still hemp seeds are the amazing source of fiber.”

 

Hemp Seeds Growing Conditions:

 

 Hemp could be planted in almost every environment, but the main place where it could grow rapidly in the desert climates and mountain regions. The good condition of growing hemp could be warm-weather areas with well-drained soil rich in organic material. Moreover, while growing hemp seeds, it is important to avoid the area with excessive wet climate or soil. Regions with heavy rain and soil that remain saturated could be a great option; therefore, look for the ground that has high fertility and low pressure. 

 

So, if you are planning to grow hemp seeds, get your soil tested just before you cultivate the crop- also ensure to test for the elemental sulfur potassium sulfate and rock phosphate levels at the least.
