Shelled hemp is exceptionally nutritious and beneficial. It is high in protein and also contains antioxidants including cysteine, carotene (vitamin A) and tocopherols (vitamin E) which work synergistically to hydrate and restore dry skin, and maintain healthy eyes and cell membranes. .

Its polyunsaturated oil is rich in essential fatty acids (AGEs) omega 6 and omega 3. The body does not manufacture these good fats and the diet is often deficient in omega 3. These AGEs work in synergy and need one of the other to be activated. Hemp contains these in the nutritionally ideal 3:1 ratio the body needs to utilize them well. AGEs help prevent or reduce inflammatory problems, arthritis, asthma, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, hormonal disorders related to menopause and in the prevention of autoimmune diseases, overweight and cancer.

This seed also contains a good amount of iron and calcium, among other minerals. It is free of THC, a psychoactive substance found in marijuana. It is also free of saturated fat, cholesterol and gluten. Several foods or supplements must be combined to achieve equivalent nutritional and nutraceutical value as hemp.
