Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Hemp Seed

  • Metabolic Effect: Hemp seeds provide a feeling of fullness and help balance blood sugar due to their healthy fats and fiber content. The omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids it contains have positive effects on metabolism and support energy levels.
  • Consumption Recommendation: You can consume hemp seeds by adding them to your salads, yogurt, or smoothies. You can also use it in making bread or cakes to increase its nutritional value. Be careful not to exceed the daily consumption amount.
  • Things to Consider: Since hemp seeds are high in calories, it is important to pay attention to portion control. Especially those who want to control their weight should avoid excessive consumption. 30 grams of hemp seeds is approximately equivalent to a handful.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from 1 serving (30 grams) of hemp seeds, you need to walk briskly for about 25 minutes. This is a simple exercise you can add to your daily activity.
