What is Superedibles' Raw Organic Hemp Seed?
The hemp plant is cultivated for its fibers, seed, seed meal and seed oil. THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive ingredient in the marijuana variety of the plant species Cannabis sativa L. Hemp is the distinctly non-drug, low THC, variety of the species. Hemp cannot be used as a drug because it produces virtually no THC (less than .3%), whereas marijuana produces between 5 - 20 % THC.
The hemp plant has been grown for at least the last 12,000 years for fiber (textiles and paper) and food. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp. Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper. Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper. Because of its importance for sails (the word "canvas" is rooted in "cannabis") and rope for ships, hemp was an important crop in colonial America. When US sources of "Manila hemp" (not true hemp) was cut off by the Japanese in WWII, the US Army and US Department of Agriculture promoted the "Hemp for Victory" campaign to grow hemp in the US.
Superedibles' Raw Organic Hemp Seed is the interior white fleshy part of the hemp seed from which the hard outer shell, or hull, removed. The resulting hulled seed is alternatively known as the hemp nut, hemp heart or simply hemp seed. The hulling action is mechanical, using no chemicals and introducing or generating no heat in the process. This renders a delicious and nutritious nut meat that is naturally RAW, VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE and KOSHER. Superedibles' Raw Organic Hemp Seed begins with 100% ORGANIC non-GMO seed and is tested at several stages from the field to the final packaging to ensure quality and integrity of the product.
This includes third party laboratory testing of samples from every production run of packages. Researchers claim that hemp seeds alone could sustain a human life for several months without causing nutrient deficiency problems.
Hemp protein was used in Europe during tuberculosis outbreaks to reverse the wasting away caused by the disease. Superedibles' Raw Organic Hemp Seed is a great tasting Super Food with an excellent nutritional profile and a wide variety of uses. It would be difficult to overstate the benefits of hemp seed
