Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds may be one of the few superfoods worthy of their reputation.
Very rich in healthy fats, high-quality protein, and several minerals, they provide excellent nutritional value.
Hemp Seeds Are
Incredibly Nutritious.
Hemp seeds are exceptionally nutritious and rich in healthy fats, protein, and various minerals. Technically a nut, hemp seeds are very nutritious. They have a mild, nutty flavor and are often referred to as hemp hearts. Containing over 30% fat, they are also exceptionally rich in two essential fatty acids, Omega-6 and Omega-3.
Hemp seeds are a great protein source, as more than 25% of their total calories are from high-quality protein. That is considerably more than similar foods like chia seeds and flaxseeds, whose calories are 16–18% protein. Hemp seeds are also a great source of vitamin E and minerals, such as phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron, and zinc.
Hemp Seeds Are a Great Source of Plant-Based Protein.
About 25% of calories in hemp seeds come from protein, which is relatively high. In fact, by weight, hemp seeds provide similar amounts of protein as beef and lamb — 30 grams of hemp seeds, or 2–3 tablespoons, provide about 11 grams of protein. They are considered a complete protein source, which means that they provide all the essential amino acids.
The body cannot produce essential amino acids and must obtain them from a diet. Hemp seeds contain significant amounts of the amino acids methionine and cysteine, as well as very high levels of arginine and glutamic acid. The digestibility of hemp protein is also very good — better than protein from many grains, nuts, and legumes.
Hemp Seeds May Reduce The Risk of Heart Disease.
Heart disease is the number one cause of death worldwide. Interestingly, eating hemp seeds may reduce the risk of heart disease. The seeds contain high amounts of the amino acid arginine, which produces nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide is a gas molecule that makes your blood vessels dilate and relax, leading to lowered blood pressure and a reduced risk of heart disease.
