Hemp milk
Hemp milk is a plant-based milk alternative made from hemp seeds. It is produced by blending hemp seeds with water and sometimes additional ingredients to improve flavor, texture, and nutritional value. These additional ingredients can include sweeteners (such as sugar, agave, or stevia), salt, thickeners (like carrageenan or gellan gum), and vitamins and minerals (such as calcium and vitamin D).
Hemp milk is often marketed as a nutritious alternative to dairy milk and other plant-based milks. It is naturally rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and is a good source of plant-based protein and fiber. It is also naturally free from lactose, soy, and gluten, making it a suitable option for individuals with allergies or dietary restrictions.
The flavor of hemp milk is often described as nutty, earthy, or grassy. It is typically consumed straight, used in smoothies, poured over cereal, or used in cooking and baking as a dairy milk substitute.
The nutritional content of hemp milk can vary depending on the brand and specific formulation. Consumers should check the nutrition labels to compare different brands and ensure the product meets their dietary needs.
