With the right marketing, the use of hemp seeds and their derivatives (such as hemp oil) in the human diet healthy food is constantly expanding.
Until recently,
cannabis seeds were largely a byproduct of the technological chain, based primarily on the production of
hemp fiber. Unlike
Canada, where virtually all industrial industrial hemp crops are grown for seed production, only a small area in
Europe were used for the cultivation of hemp in order to obtain seeds of the crop. However, this trend changed dramatically a few years ago, due to the fact that a significant number of European farmers began to cultivate cannabis not only for seed yield, as well as leaves and inflorescences.
The data show that from 2010 to 2013. seed production has increased from 6,000 to 11,500 tons (an increase of 92%). Such dynamics of production of
hemp seeds is associated with a significant increase in the commodity grain demand from the food market. Not only the small shops, but also the network of
Europe's largest supermarkets currently offer
food from hemp seed products or their derivatives. Maximum clearly this trend in
Germany and the Netherlands.
For the first time in 2013, more than half-grown
hemp seeds sold on the food market (55%) compared to 30% in 2010. The past decade has seen a gradual increase in the consumption of
hemp seeds is in the food segment, respectively, in this direction are actively developing technologies for processing corn into various products suitable for the food market.
Bird and fish feed are the main market for hemp seed in Zoo business. Pets, ornamental birds, fish for optimal development are in need of elements contained in hemp seeds, primarily in omega-3 and omega-6 non-fatty acids. Hemp oil zoobusiness in Europe is mainly used in the course of feeding koi carp (Koi Carp).
Hemp seeds are an excellent source of several important nutrients and vitamins. Hemp oil has an exclusive range of fatty acids. It has an unusually high (90%) the content of unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic, alpha-linolenic and linolenic gamma. Vegetable protein found in hemp seeds is perfectly balanced and easily digestible by the body of mammals, particularly human. Its nutritional composition and culinary versatility is extremely suited to modern trends in the consumption of food products in Europe. With the right marketing, the use of hemp seeds and their derivatives (such as hemp oil) in the human diet healthy food is constantly expanding.
