Industrial Cannabis sativa (Hemp) seeds used as Probiotic Energy Milk Drink-An Update
Probiotics are living microorganisms that have many beneficial functions to the human body, such as regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, enhancing immunity, relieving constipation, and reducing inflammation. Hemp milk is a quality product from the point of view of nutraceutical value. Among the prime reasons why hemp milk has been gaining momentum is due to its positive nutritional balance. Unlike other seed milks such as almond or soy milk, hemp milk contains all nine of the essential amino acids and is, therefore a complete vegetarian and vegan protein source for people with dietary needs. Hemp seeds are rich in protein content (25-30%) and the source of Omega-3 and Omega-6. Hemp is rich in protein and vitamins such as A and E, it is a viable alternative to cow milk not only for those who want to change the diet in a healthy way or have made a vegan choice but also for lactose intolerants. Hemp milk, with its highly nutritional value and low allergencity, looks to be an attractive alternative to dairy, soy, and nut milks. Comparison of milk products in the market reveals hemp milk as a better source of minerals than other dairy and plant milks. Hemp milk has a unique texture and flavor profile that is very distinct from the rest of the alternatives, such as almond milk or oat milk. Increasing demand for plant-based milk has enlarged its industry due to lactose intolerance, cow’s milk allergy, and vegan lifestyles.
