Hemp seeds intended for human consumption come from a variety known as "industrial hemp." Once shelled, they have a smooth texture and a flavor reminiscent of nuts or sunflower seeds. Among their nutritional qualities is the presence of essential oils that promote lighter digestion. They are especially rich in proteins—providing around 25 grams per 100—which makes them an ideal food to support the health of muscles, bones, and skin. They are also a significant source of energy and stand out for their magnesium content, a key mineral for the proper absorption of calcium, with relaxing effects on the muscular system and helping to reduce fatigue.
