Hemp-based products are going mainstream as more and more people learn about their health benefits and properties. Hemp (or industrial hemp, as it’s often referred to) is a strain of the Cannabis plant. It’s defined by a very low percentage of THC (less than 0.3% in the dried plant,) which is the psychoactive element of other varieties of Cannabis.
Farmers use other methods of cultivating and harvesting hemp, focusing on obtaining big plants with lots of fibrous material and healthy, numerous seeds. Growing industrial hemp is relatively easy and sustainable, and its benefits are numerous. Although it has been banned for decades, nowadays it seems to be one of the most promising crops for the near future.
In spite of its popularity, many tend to get a lot of things wrong about hemp-based products.
What Products Can Be Derived from Hemp?
It’s great to think that such a humble plant can give us so many amazing products. After decades of a federal ban on the cultivation of hemp, regulations are finally modified to allow farmers to grow this sustainable crop with multiple benefits.
Here are some of the most common uses of hemp and why they should be considered as a viable alternative to traditional crops and materials.
● Hemp Paper
Hemp paper has been around for thousands of years. Right now, it’s a more sustainable alternative to paper made out of cellulose extracted from trees. Hemp takes less time to regenerate, and hemp paper can be recycled up to 8 times, compared to paper from trees.
● Hemp Biofuel
Even though the main alternative to petroleum-based fuels seems to be investing in electric cars, biofuel is also a great candidate. Hemp has a great potential of being a primary source of clean, green fuel that can regenerate fast and doesn’t need special conditions to grow.
● Hemp Building Materials
Hemp can also contribute to building sustainable homes due to their fibrous, woody fibers that can be added to special construction materials. These materials, such as hempcrete, have great properties: soundproofing, insulating, non-toxic, mold-resistant, fire and pest resistant.)
● Hemp Textiles
One of the first uses of hemp in the history of humankind was making fabrics out of these resistant, lightweight and versatile natural fibers. They are able to help you regulate your body temperature, allow your skin to breathe and even protect you from UV light.
● Hemp Cosmetics
The benefits of hemp when it comes to cosmetics are still being researched, but the anti-inflammatory properties of the hemp-derived oil, one of the main compounds of the plant, are sure to improve skin conditions.
● Hemp Oil
One of the newest uses for industrial hemp is extracting Cannabidiol from it: the compounds of the Cannabis plant that has numerous health benefits, without having any psychoactive effects.
● Hemp Seeds
Hemp can also be used as a superfood, primarily its seeds. They contain essential fatty acids, soluble and insoluble fibers, vitamins and fibers. They can easily be added to your meals or ground into a fine flour that can be adapted in your cooking.
As you can see, hemp is incredibly versatile and brings us plenty of benefits with an impact on our health and well-being, environment and the way we develop sustainable agriculture.
“Our purpose is to educate our customers about the many uses and health benefits of hemp-based products. Cosmetics are just a small part of what these products can offer as their applicability can’t reach almost all aspects of our lives. And, we truly believe that an informed and educated consumer is a powerful one,” said Cody Alt, CEO.
