Hemp Seeds Benefits - What you need to know
Hemp seeds are classed as a super-food, the perfect nutritional supplement for your diet. Let's find out more about Hemp Seeds Benefits .
Hemp seeds can be traced back to Central Asia. The cultivation of hemp for its fibre was first recorded as early as 2800 BC in China. It found its way to Europe during the Christian era and reached North America in 1600. In modern times hemp is commonly cultivated for its edible seeds and bast fibre.
It grows well in sandy loam soil which has good drainage and takes three to four months to mature (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2018). The hemp seeds are separated from the flower of the plant and sieved further to clean the seeds. The whole seed is then de-shelled and the final product gives us ready-to-eat nutritious hemp hearts.
Nutritional Hemp Seeds Benefits
The white interiors of the hemp seeds are called hemp hearts. This is soft and full of natural good oils which contains the bulk of the seed’s nutrition. Hemp hearts can be utilised in many foods and have a long shelf life.
They contain omega-3 fatty acids which are alpha-linolenic Acids (ALA) and can work as a substitute for those people who do not eat fish. It also has omega-6 fatty acids commonly referred to as GLA.
Hemp seeds are a good source of protein. They have ten amino acids that translate into plant-based proteins. This plant is also rich in magnesium which is instrumental for enzymatic reactions during metabolism and the breakdown of proteins and fatty acids. By so doing it helps reduce cases of coronary heart disease, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, and insulin resistance.

Hemp hearts are becoming very popular in global markets and in New Zealand. Studies indicate that Hemp-based foods can be bought from convenience stores, supermarkets, and other food-based outlets in the US as of the early 2000s.
In 2016, hemp was distributed in 46% of supermarkets in the US. It is estimated that in 2023, the expected revenue from hemp-based products will increase to US$1830 million, from US$470 million (Erie News Now, 2018).
Hemp seeds have been approved for human consumption by the New Zealand Ministry of Primary industries (MPI, 2018). This has raised much interest for companies, local farmers and many consumers looking to supplement their meat alternative diets.
With more companies like Merkaba NZ and local farmers supporting the cultivation of hemp seeds, it will help people have more access to this amazing superfood at affordable prices. 2019 looks like it's going to be the year of hemp.

Hi My name is Mona. I just want to share my experience with the world on how I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause I loved him with all my heart and didn’t want to lose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with relationship problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com
