Hemp seeds

SEEDS:

"The seed of the hemp plant is very nutritious. High in fibre and 23% protein, these small beige/grey seeds, are a good source of essential amino acids and the minerals, calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. Hemp seeds are also high in essential fatty acids (EFA's) particularly in linoleic acid, gamma linoleic acid and oleic acid and because the human body cannot make its own EFA's, eating a small amount of hemp seeds regularly will supply all the EFA's needed to keep the hair, skin and immune system healthy. EFA's also help to maintain hormonal balance and to protect the heart."

Hemp seeds are used in many countries and were one of the the prime ingredients of bread in the middle ages. As you can see they are very nutritious and particularly recommended for those on a vegan diet. I thought we weren't allowed to have them here . Apparently not, our four legged friends will soon be benefitting from the joys of hemp cookies. What is the world coming to??
