On The Hunt For Hemp
AsiaSpa Magazine|March - April 2018

Eating couldn’t be more conscious if you are consuming hemp – as long as you can get your hands on it.

On The Hunt For Hemp

Could it be true? There’s a new ultra healthy leaf ready to hedge out kale? Hemp may be set to become 2018’s superfood, and it’s easy to see why. Packed full of soluble and non-soluble fibre, high in vitamin E, and with a natural ‘perfect’ ratio of 3:1 omega-3 to omega-6 essential fatty acids, hemp boasts plenty of health benefits. Added to that is the fact that hemp contains one of the most complete proteins of all plants, putting it in a desirable position as more people move away from meat in their diets. “Expect to see a lot more headlines about new plant-based products intended to replace meat, dairy and seafood,” Sonalie Figueiras told readers in a post about this year’s eco trends on her site GreenQueen.com.

For anyone with an eye on conscious eating, hemp is as similarly alluring. Naturally resistant to pests, growing the plant requires little in the way of pesticides. Even better, the way hemp sucks up carbon dioxide as it grows makes it carbon negative from the minute its roots take hold, which they do thick and fast.
