Hemp Powder

Hemp powder is made from ground hemp seeds, which are the edible seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. The seeds are typically cleaned and then milled into a fine powder. Hemp seeds are a good source of nutrients.

Hemp powder is added to foods for its nutritional content, particularly protein and fiber. It can also contribute a slightly nutty flavor. It is often found in energy bars, baked goods, and smoothies.

Hemp powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated hemp seeds and their derivatives, generally finding them safe for consumption. No significant health controversies are associated with typical consumption of hemp powder.
