Superfoods

Is CBD a superfood? There are multiple research studies that have demonstrated CBD presents a variety of potential positive health effects. There are also research studies that found cannabidiol has potential therapeutic value for managing pain. CBD oil comes from the leaves, flowers and stems of the hemp plant.

Hemp seed is another part of the plant, and it too is proving to have powerful health benefits because of its nutritional content.

Hemp seed ground into flour was analyzed and found to contain essential micronutrients like iron, magnesium, zinc and calcium. It was also found to have more omega-6 than omega-3 and higher dietary fiber compared to chia flour. When you think of hemp seed, superfoods may come to mind because of the nutrients they contain. An analysis of hemp seeds and hemp seed oil found that they contain protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) and linoleic acid (omega-6).
