Hemp seeds are created in the flowers of pollinated female hemp plants. Hemp plants are purposefully cultivated in close rows in order to promote this pollination and increase seed production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hemp seeds have a mild, nutty flavor. They can be eaten whole and have a crunchy texture, or hemp seeds can be shelled to expose the highly nutritious softer inner \u201cheart\u201d. Because hemp seeds are derived from low-THC hemp plants (below 0.3% THC), they are non-psychoactive and safe to eat. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, we reveal the nutritional benefits of hemp seeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of Eating Hemp Seeds<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is difficult to find another food that is as nutrient-dense as hemp seeds. Adding hemp seeds to your diet significantly increases your intake of vital nutrients, helping fill the gaps of an otherwise potentially unbalanced diet. Hemp seeds contain the following nutrients, crucial to any complete diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The one fat you can never get enough of is Omega 3, which lowers triglyceride levels in the blood, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/omega-3-fats\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reducing risk of heart disease<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

This is due to a diet increasingly fried in vegetable oils high in Omega 6 and could be an indicator for a number of diseases.

Healthy acquisition of Omega 6 also <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/umm.edu\/health\/medical\/altmed\/supplement\/omega6-fatty-acids\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">helps with arthritis pain, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Amino Acids &amp; Protein: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, one of the three macronutrients we consume everyday.
