Down Under Delights: Exploring Hemp Foods in Australia

The rise of hemp foods has certainly given Australians something to think about. We already live in an age of “supplements,” and while some can certainly improve your day-to-day health when used regularly, others are little more than snake oil. 

However, hemp foods fall under the “real deal” category. That’s because they’re packed with nutrients, and there is ample research outlining the potential health benefits of the plant in general. Below, I check out how hemp foods can help you live a healthier life. 

Packed with Nutrients, Good for Digestion

Hemp seeds are pretty remarkable, and it’s equally incredible that it’s taken so long for us to figure this out. Humans are extremely adept at finding things that promote hedonism and shorten lifespans. We seem to be a little slower on the uptake when it comes to prolonging our lives. 

In any case, hemp seeds are laden with nutrients. In fact, they contain the nine essential amino acids we need. As such, we can classify these seeds as a “complete protein source.” They are also filled with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which work wonders for our cardiovascular health.

It’s also true that hemp protein powder and other hemp foods, such as hemp seeds, are outstanding dietary fibre sources. As you may know, fibre plays a major role in ensuring you enjoy good digestive health. If you have enough fibre in your diet, you’re more likely to avoid constipation and have regular bowel movements. Sure, these aren’t the kind of benefits one likes to see on a billboard, but you’ll certainly be glad to experience them.

Blood Sugar Regulation, Improved Mental Health

The fact that hemp foods in Australia can have such diverse benefits is something to behold. You see, hemp foods rank low on the glycaemic index (GI), which means they are absorbed and digested relatively slowly. This is good news for your blood sugar levels, as they only increase gradually. 

Thus, if you have a condition such as diabetes where stable blood sugar levels are essential, you need to take a look at hemp foods. Premium Jane has quickly become one of the most trusted brands in this sphere. This American-based brand offers hemp protein powder, hemp bars, and much more. It uses high-quality hemp and offers lab reports with every product.

The aforementioned omega-3 fatty acids play a role in improving cognitive function and brain health. Therefore, if you consume hemp foods on a regular basis, you might find that your mood improves. This is something to consider if you have issues with a low mood. You may also find that you feel more relaxed after consuming hemp seeds. This is due to their high magnesium content.

Versatility As Standard

The hemp plant is absolutely astonishing. It is estimated to have anywhere up to 50,000 uses! What the American government was thinking when it included hemp in its federal ban in 1937 is something for us all to consider. The United States then used its international influence to ensure that anything related to the Cannabis sativa plant was outlawed.

It is only in recent years that hemp has become legalized in the United States and in other nations, such as Australia. We can now clearly see that the benefits of hemp protein powder, hemp seeds, and other hemp foods are only the tip of the iceberg. 

If you decide to invest in hemp seeds, for example, you can have tremendous fun in the kitchen, creating all manner of culinary delights. For instance, you can spread hemp seeds over your salad or into yoghurt. Create hemp smoothies with added fruit, or include hemp seeds in baked goods to take advantage of that delicious nutty flavour. 

Hemp Foods – The New Gold Standard in Supplements

If you want something that’s filled with nutrients, high in protein and tastes great, look no further than hemp foods. The great news is that you can easily buy them online from reputable brands like Premium Jane. You can get hemp bars, protein powders, seeds, and much more. They are tasty, convenient snack options that are a lot healthier than most of the rubbish you see on the market. So, add hemp foods to your diet and experience the difference.
