1. how healthy are hemp seeds?
The small seeds (approx. 3 mm in diameter) grow on the hemp plant and are actually small nuts. They are characterized in particular by their ingredients: Hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids. These little powerhouses are therefore ideally suited as a source of protein. Not only that, they are also high in vitamins B1, B2 and E, calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron as well as healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
2. do hemp seeds get you high?
As hemp seeds come from plants from which the intoxicant tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has been almost completely bred out, hemp seeds do not get you high. You can therefore add them to your diet without hesitation.
3. how can hemp seeds be prepared?
The easiest way is to add hemp seeds to dough and baked goods. However, they can also be eaten in muesli or yoghurt or sprinkled over a salad. Their slightly sweet and nutty taste goes well with many dishes. Incidentally, hemp seeds can be eaten peeled or unpeeled.
4. can people with allergies eat hemp seeds?
Allergy sufferers can also eat hemp seeds with confidence. These little all-rounders contain neither gluten nor lactose. And allergic reactions to the hemp protein itself are not really known.
