What is Hemp Seed?

Hemp seed comes from the hemp plant. It is a variety of Cannabis sativa. Unlike marijuana, hemp seeds don’t contain any psychoactive ingredients. They are grown, harvested, and cooked exclusively for human consumption.

These seeds are abundant in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, fiber, protein, and vital minerals. They support heart health, digestion, skin health, and immunity. Hemp seeds can be eaten raw, roasted, or pulverized.

Hemp seeds are planted in soil that drains water properly and gets enough sunlight. Then the plants are picked when the seeds are ready. After harvest, seeds are cleaned, dried, and stored for later use.

How is Hemp Seed cultivated?

Hemp seeds grow best in soil that is fertile, well-drained, and receives enough sunlight. The hemp seeds are sowed in Spring and the crop becomes harvest ready after 90 to 120 days.

This plant requires routine watering and weed control. Hemp grows tall and has sturdy stems. Seeds begin to develop inside seed heads for harvesting as the blooms mature enough.

Harvesting begins when the seed heads turn brown. After harvesting the plants, the seed heads are threshed and separated by farmers. Seeds are used to make oil, powders, and snacks after being washed and preserved.
