Should you eat peeled or unpeeled cannabis seeds?
You can eat cannabis seeds with (unpeeled) or without husks (peeled). Unpeeled hemp seeds contain more fibre and also a little more nutrient. Their disadvantage, however, is that the hard shells can get stuck between the teeth.

Buy cannabis seeds
Hemp seeds (peeled) can be bought in many health food stores, but also various supermarkets or online shops.
Organic cannabis seeds will surely be found in health food stores. Organic hemp seeds are also often sold in supermarkets. Of course, the same applies to online shops.
Buy cannabis seed oil
If you want to use cannabis seeds because of their healthy fatty acids, you can also buy hemp seed oil. Organic cannabis seed oil can be purchased in some speciality stores, supermarkets and online.
Hemp seed oil can be used in the same way as olive oil except for frying. The hemp seed oil has a relatively low smoke point (165°C), which makes it unsuitable for frying.
Hemp seed oil can also be used as a base for salad dressing, or you can mix it into your smoothie.
Buy cannabis protein powder
If you only want to use cannabis seeds because of their protein, you can also buy cannabis protein powder instead of hemp seeds.
Hemp protein powder has a protein content between 30% and 50% per 100 grams. The fat content is slightly lower than that of cannabis seeds: about 10%, which means that the powder has fewer calories.
Hemp protein powder can also be bought in some supermarkets or online shops.
Hemp milk
You can also drink cannabis seeds by making cannabis milk. Cannabis milk is a good substitute for anyone allergic to cow’s milk or lactose intolerant and is also a good alternative for those who want to drink less milk.
Hemp seed flour
With cannabis seed flour, you have countless possibilities to integrate hemp into your food. You can use it for baking bread, pancakes, pizzas, crackers or cookies.
Baking is a little more complicated than with conventional flour. Hemp seed flour does not contain gluten, which makes it less strenuous. But this can be compensated for with Arrowroot, for example.
I am not a big fan of cannabis seed flour because it is heated, which means that a lot of nutrients are lost.
