Why Use Hemp

Hemp, (Cannabis sativa L.) has been grown for 2000 years for the fiber produced in its stems and as a food source for its fruit – Hemp. Hemp Seeds are sometimes called Hemp Hearts, a wonderful whole food. Hemp Hearts are made into Hemp Oil and both can be used as a stand-alone food and nutrition source or in hundreds of healthy, tasty recipes.

I am the original content writer on Hemp in 2011 before anybody started publishing the same articles that I researched and wrote. Before this time there was barely anything on the internet about Hemp.
