Nutrition For Mental Wellbeing
Hemp hearts are incredibly healthy, so this homemade hemp milk recipe is packed with nutrients. One serving (3 tablespoons) contains 180 calories, 1g of carbohydrates, 1g of fiber, 15g of fat, and 10g of protein. They are an excellent source of essential fatty acids, including linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3). Hemp seeds are rich in vitamin E, iron, thiamine, phosphorus, magnesium, and manganese. They are also a good source of vitamin B6 and folate.
