Cannabis fact #2

Did you know...

Hemp seed is nature's perfect food. The oil from hemp seeds has the highest percentage of essential fatty acids (EFAs) and the lowest percentage of saturated fats.

EFAs include Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs), Omega-3, Omega-6, Omega-9, Linoleic Acid and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA).

Although it is very important in skin care and maintenance, GLAs are rarely found in natural oils. Other excellent sources are from the seeds of evening primrose and borage.

Hemp oil also provides an ample supply of carotene, phytosterols, and phospholipids, in addition to a large number of minerals including: calcium, sulfur, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. It is also a good source of chlorophyll.

Look for hemp oil, hemp milk and hemp protein powder at your local health food store.
