Information Profile
@ a
Glance
- Hemp has a long history in America,
from the first plantings in Jamestown,
where growing hemp was
mandatory, to the hemp sails of 19th-century clipper ships and the hemp
canvas covers of pioneer wagons, to World War II’s massive “Hemp for
Victory” program.
- Hemp fiber offers greater durability
and breathability
than cotton, which accounts for 25
percent
of the pesticides sprayed on the world’s crops.
- “Biocomposites” of nonwoven hemp
matting and polypropylene or epoxy are pressed into parts
such as
door panels and luggage racks, replacing heavier and less safe
fiberglass composites.
- The low impact of the farming and
processing of hemp stalks and the high strength, length and yield of the
bast fibers make hemp, a traditional source of high-strength specialty
paper, a favorite in today’s ecologically aware market.
- Hemp seeds are valued primarily for
the exceptional fatty acid composition of their oil, which makes up 30
percent of the whole seed and 44 percent of the nut.
- Increasingly found on store shelves,
shelled hemp seeds (“hemp nuts”) and cold pressed oil have exceptional
nutritional
benefits and rich flavor. |
