Hemp seed has been an important source of nutrition for thousands of years in old world cultures. Fiber from the stalk is used to make clothing, paper, rope, nets, and more. Hemp is 5 times more productive per acre than trees when it comes to paper production. Hemp seeds offer a healthy source of essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) to the body, but also provide a very high level of dietary fiber, which helps your digestive system remain efficient and healthy. Hemp is also a complete protein, which is unusual for sources that are plant-based.
