It has been a dietary staple for them for several generations. Hemp plant’s mention in ancient vedic texts have always been a topic of discussion because of the benefits and goodness it reaps.

Nature has given us a superfood among others in the form of hemp hearts. We all suffer from some or the other deficiency of nutrients in our body. The lifestyles we live do not compensate well or in ways adequate for what our body’s requirements are. Including superfoods and extra nutritional items is one good option to bring back the balance and maintain it further.

The best way to heal one's body is with natural methods and ingredients. Nature has provided us with a surplus of everything that we need to survive and require to retain ourselves in situations of scarcity or deficiencies. However in todays time we are heavily dependent on chemical based alternative having long term side effects.

The hemp hearts, on the other hand, is a  super nutrition. Only 2-3 tablespoons can add a rich amount of nutrition to one's meal. They can be consumed raw or added to mixtures and batters of daily food items. Sprinkle and add them to salads, dals, cooked or sauteed vegetables, raita and dips. They can also be added to smoothies, pancakes, bread batter and roti dough, etc. They can be used to make milk as well like any other nut milk available to us.

A powerhouse, they are not just a superfood but also considered on top of the superfood list.

Protein Loaded

As tiny as they are, but sure to be the mightiest of all. With a whopping amount of 9.5 grams of protein in a 2-3 tablespoon serving is a big win for plant-based or vegan options like hemp hearts available to us. To let you know, USDA has said hemp hearts are more than what an egg and a double serving of chia seeds would provide us with!

It is no doubt the best option in comparison to non vegetarian options available to us.

Protein is one most important component in one's diet to promote immunity, strength, muscle growth, hair and skin health. It not just promotes growth but also repairs and replenishes the muscles by working diligently on muscle fiber function.

Lack of protein in diet or insufficient amount as per individual's requirement will indubitably lead to weaker nails, hair loss and brittle rough hair, poor skin, early ageing, muscle loss and weight gain as well. As USDA recommends, the average woman with a diet of 1800-2000 calories should have 46 grams of protein daily.

Now, the highlight here is, one serving i.e. one tablespoon of hemp hearts is accomodating almost 20-25% of daily requirement with other benefits in place.

Omega Fatty Acids Overloaded

The hemp hearts are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are commonly found in fish oil which happens to be an easy go to option for people. However the best available option is hemp hearts, they are plant-based, they cause no environmental damage and have no chemical infusions or side effects either.

According to National Institute of Health, the body cannot produce its own linolenic acid and it needs to be taken from diet only with inclusion of proper sources. It is also suggested that 1-1.5 tablespoon of hemp hearts can give for ones daily requirement of the same. These fatty acids help is reduction of level of triglycerides which is a type of harmful fat that leads to heart problems.

Promotes Health of your Bones

With 210 milligrams of magnesium and 495 milligrams of phosphorus, in three tablespoons of hemp hearts, they prove to be a great supplement for bone health as this is an individual's 65%-70% of daily requirement. Phosphorus is responsible for building as well as maintaining bones and teeth as a primary objective.

Superfood for Vegans

With alternative and special diets, people are actively switching to not just the diets and routines that are healthier as they gain knowledge and experience but also that is consciously thoughtful and generous to not just mankind but nature as well.

It is observed that with the switch in diet practices, an increasing number of people are shifting to vegetarian and vegan diets. But not everyone is aware of all possibilities that our nature or plant kingdom can offer them. What all things can be used? How can they be used? What will they provide if consumed? Etc. These answers are slowly coming into light. However, still vegans, vegetarians, pregnant women and growing kids are found to be lacking the essential nutrients the most in their diets. Iron deficiency is the most common among all.

Hemp Hearts are the love and care you did not know you needed and you easily have available.
