Hemp is second to none when talking about nutrition. Nothing else on the planet packs such a complete source of protein, essential fatty acids (EFAs) and carbohydrates in such a small package. Hemp seeds are a good source of polyunsaturated and essential fatty acids. They have about a 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3, which is considered in the optimal range.

In fact, by weight, hemp seeds provide similar amounts of protein as beef and lamb — 30 grams of hemp seeds, or 2–3 tablespoons, provide about 11 grams of protein. If you are looking for Nature’s perfect wonder food, you’ve found it and it is hemp seed.
