The No Longer Forbidden Superfood

HEMP is the new most wanted superfood that everyone is talking about! So let’s start with the basics and unravel the mystery behind this wonderful ingredient.

What is Hemp?

Reality is that not everyone knows what Hemp actually is. And most people even associate Hemp as being the same as “Marijuana”, which in fact is totally the opposite. The confusion behind this is because they both come from the same plant, Cannabis sativa, but they are very different in nature!

The main difference between Hemp and Marijuana is the THC (delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol) content of each variety. THC is the cannabinoid associated with the psychoactive effects (or magic effects if you want to call it) that are present in Marijuana. Hemp has very low levels of THC (less than 0.3%) while marijuana is known to have high levels of THC. So at the end of the day, Hemp does not have therapeutic effects because of its low levels of THC and is totally safe for human consumption!

For a quick understanding of what has been said, have a look in the table below:
