Your Comments

Hemp seeds have a nutty flavor and fit well with almost any kind of recipes. It can be digested easily and contains protein and both omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids. Consuming hemp seeds keep the heart healthy by reducing cholesterol levels. The goodness of hemp seeds is that it contains seven times more Omega3 fatty acids than fish so hemp is definitely good news for vegetarians.
The hemp plant is used for a variety of uses from food, clothes to building materials so I think its cultivation should be encouraged though its drug content sometimes simmers this valuable plant in prohibitions and restrictions.
