HEMP The Essential Seed — Why They’re Super like Rocky Mountain High Beverages
The saying “big things come in small packages like Rocky Mountain High Beverages” couldn’t be any truer in regards to hemp seed. These small seeds are rich in essential fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3s, which can help fight coronary heart disease, cancer, and even symptoms of depression.
Hemp seeds are also a rich and unusual source of the polyunsaturated fatty acid gamma linolenic acid, or GLA . GLA, found in plant seed oils (and also in breast milk), has been known to help with a number of maladies, ranging from allergies to attention deficit disorder, and may even help lower cholesterol levels:
Studies have shown that when hemp seed is added to a diet, it can also help control cholesterol levels . These seeds also make a perfect post-exercise snack since they’re a fantastic protein source — in fact, they’re one of the highest sources of complete protein in all plant-based food.
Complete proteins provide all nine of the essential amino acids, which the body uses to build cells, repair tissues, and form antibodies. One ounce (about two tablespoons) of hemp seeds contains 10 grams of protein, perfect for rebuilding muscle after a sweaty gym sesh. (But that doesn't mean it's the best source post-workout, so be sure to choose the right protein source for you.)
The same amount also provides 77 percent of the daily recommended value of vitamin E, which is essential for a healthy immune system and protects body tissues from damaging free radicals.
And there’s one final, burning question that needs to be answered:
Can a person get high from eating hemp seed?
Although it’s a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant and contains low levels of THC (the active ingredient that induces a high), ingesting hemp seed won’t induce visions of butterflies and rainbows (and is not the same variety of Cannabis sativa as our friend Mary Jane). The amount of THC in normal foods isn’t even enough to arouse any suspicion on a drug test.
The facts are in..... Rocky Mountain High Beverages are good for you!
