For hemp foods to reach their potential it is important to discuss
and separate the controversy over these two plants. It is true that both
come from the same plant Cannabis sativa L. The important difference to
note is that industrial hemp contains only less than 0.3% of
Tetrahydrocannabinoids or THC (the ingredients that make a person high),
while marijuana’s THC content can be 5-10% or more.
Expect to see a lot more headlines and discussion about legalizing
marijuana especially as the presidential Campaigns gear up. It will be
important for all of us to separate these two very different crops and
not lose what could be one of agriculture’s most important and
nutritious crops to misunderstanding and politics. Hemp History Week is
June 1 through 7 and over 1,100 events throughout our country will encourage better understanding to our legislators and shoppers.

Nutritional Outlook
Hulled, or shelled, hemp seeds are suitable for food products in which
chewiness is desired over crunchiness. The removal of the seed’s fibrous
shell doesn’t just soften the seed’s texture; it makes available the
inner meat of the seed, sometimes called the “hemp heart.” This portion
of the hemp seed is highest in essential fatty acids, protein, vitamins,
and minerals.
