Since Plant Kingdom is dedicated to putting the Industrial Hemp crop to work in N E Ohio. Operations Manager, Jeremy Koosed, is always fielding questions related to the Hemp seed snack foods. By posting some FAQ's here, we're hoping to bring clarity to the subject.
Q: What is Hemp? What are Hemp seeds?
The term Hemp refers to the Industrial Hemp crop, a non-drug variety of Cannabis Sativa that is genetically (and visibly) distinct from Marijuana plants. Hemp has a tall, woody stalk, growing well over 8 ft tall. It only needs to be planted 6 inches apart. Fibers derived from the Hemp stalk or other stalks are called "bast-fibers". Hemp fiber was a primary resource for Paper, cloth, strong rope for thousands of years. In fact, the term "canvas" is derived from "cannabis."
Hemp is a bast-fiber as well as an oilseed crop. The Hemp seeds are remarkably nutritious, containing all the essential amino acids (a complete protein) and essential fatty acids that we need in our diet. Hemp seed is not only a complete protein, but a high-protein food, second only to soybeans in respect to protein density
Q: What will this do to me? Will I fail my drug test?
No you cannot fail a drug test by eating Hemp seed foods. The Hemp industry pledges this with the website, ww.testpledge.com. There is no marijuana on the Hemp plant when it's growing. Eating Hemp seeds helps us feel strong! The goods knock-out hunger and the good-fats benefits our brain health and circulation so it’s help us feel clear and alert!
