Whats your opinion of hemp seeds?

February 20, 2006

I was looking for source of GLA, and noticed something I used to eat

is apparently a good source of it along with Linolenic Acid.

WAPF doesn't reccomend it because they say it hasn't been used

traditionally, but I have read many things about Traditional Chinese

Medicine about it, and have also read recipes from a traditional

Lithuanian cookbook which included hempseeds in a few recipes.

Not like you can find very much usage of flax seeds as food either.

I used to eat it like a year ago, and I must say I thought it was

incredibly tasty, and they seem to have a good amount of other

nutrients as well. I was eating Nutiva's brand.

They taste way better than flax, I don't like the taste or feel of

freshly ground flax very much...but hemp has a nice nutty flavor. It

also like three times the vitamin E of flax.

The only problem I could see if it contains some kinda of unknown

anti-nutrient or some undesirable fatty acid that isn't good for you,

but can't find anything on it.

Heres a nutrition chart for %100 raw hempseeds -

So...what do you folks think about hemp seed?
