Hemp Seed As A Human Food – Dr Andrew Katelaris
May 9th 2012 23:29
The Hemp seed is one of the most nutritionally complete foods available. Next to flax it has the highest concentration of the essential fatty acid omega 3 and unlike flax it contains a perfect ratio of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids.
These essential nutrients are contained in a balanced protein matrix and protected from oxidation by generous quantities of vitamin E. In addition, the seed contains high levels of magnesium and other essential minerals and high levels of the B group vitamins.
Dr Andrew Katelaris
The Hemp seed offers those concerned about their own and their family’s nutrition a convenient and delicious way to ensure the delivery of those nutrients essential to achieving and maintaining optimal health.
Australia remains the only country on earth which has yet to recognise Hemp seed a human food. However, Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) has accepted our application to have Hemp seed re-scheduled and we reasonably expect a positive outcome presently.
