hempseed

The seed of hemp. Hemp seeds are comparable to sunflower seeds, and may be used for food and milk, tea, and for baking, like sesame seeds. The hemp seed is actually a very tiny nut covered by a thin shell.

Hemp seeds are one of the world’s richest sources of a complete protein (second only to soybean) comprising 23% of the seed composition and 34% dietary fiber. Whole hemp seeds contain a rich array of minerals, particularly phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, sulfur and calcium, along with modest amounts of iron and zinc. It is also a fair source of carotene, a "Vitamin A" precursor.
