Production originates from areas around the Mediterranean, and only later did its cultivation reach America. From their grinding, flour is obtained, which can be used to produce a remarkable variety of foods: beer, as well as candies, pasta, and baked goods. Oil, once used only as fuel, is now considered a food rich in nutritional properties. Vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals abound, unlike THC, the molecule linked to the psychoactive effect of cannabis, which is completely absent in food.

Anyone can consume products derived from hemp: adults, children, and the elderly can benefit from the abundance of fatty acids such as Omega 3 and Omega 6, which are very useful in preserving the functions of the cardiovascular system, as well as vitamins, fibres, and proteins of high biological value.

 

Hemp seeds can be consumed as they are, raw, or they can be added to salads, desserts, fruit salads, soups, and smoothies. It is essential to always keep in mind that the seeds should be consumed raw, as only in this way can their nutritional values be preserved.

The oil derived from pressing the seeds must be from organic sources and should be used raw, to dress salads or dishes of all kinds. To prevent oxidation, it should be stored in a cool place away from light sources. It is possible to take a couple of tablespoons a day, and it is perfect for supplementing traditional extra virgin olive oil.

Hemp flour can be added to common flours to create dough for a variety of foods.
