When discussing the health facts around cannabis many people often talk about incorporating cannabis flowers and leaves into food or extract oil from the cannabis plant. However, what often gets overlooked are the health benefits of simply eating raw cannabis seeds. Unknown to most, raw cannabis seeds have numerous health benefits which can supplement your existing diet, or act as nutrient replacements if you are engaging in a dietary shift.
To begin cannabis seeds are very high in healthy essential fatty acids which are crucial to a proper diet. In fact hempseed oil has more linoleic and linolenic acid than any other edible seed bearing plant with the exception of flax seed oil. Keep in mind that these fatty acids are not the same as the detrimental lipids you’ll find in other foods.
The fat found in hempseed aid the body in removing toxins and also boost the immune system in addition to providing a rich reserve of energy to burn. Hempseed is also very high (no pun intended) in complete proteins unlike other protein bearing plants. Furthermore hempseeds contain so much protien that if you are engaging in a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle these little seeds can act as complete protein replacements for you.
Now how should you consume cannabis seeds? Cannabis seeds are fairly small and between the size of chia seeds and Asian rice grains and as such can be peppered on a variety of foods including muffins, cereal mixes, and other types of breakfast foods like oatmeal. Unlike chia seeds and white rice cannabis seeds have a rich and creamy taste with a nutty savor similar to sunflower seeds so I would advise you eat them raw, or combine them with high carbohydrate foods or rich vegetables. Another thing you can do is blend your seeds, if you have enough, is to blend them into fruit smoothies or milk shakes.
