Hemp seed, the fruit of cannabis, is an ancient cultivated plant with a history of nearly 5,000 years. It was once listed as one of the five grains. The skin of this plant was used to weave cloth in the old days, and the resulting fabric was linen clothing, and it could also be twisted into hemp rope. It is also an oil crop, and its oil content is generally around 30% to 35%. Hemp oil is the only oil that can be dissolved in water. The size of hemp seeds is like sorghum grains, smaller than mung beans, and the outer shell looks gray. After being shelled, hemp seeds are found in our traditional Chinese medicine. They are sweet, flat and non-toxic. They can speed up the peristalsis of the intestinal mucosa, moisturize dryness, smooth the intestines, quench thirst and other effects. They have a mild purgative effect. Hemp seeds can repair the heart muscle, lower blood pressure and serum cholesterol, and can also moisturize the intestines when consumed in moderation. I used Bama's fine cornmeal and hemp seeds to make a health-preserving porridge. The ordinary taste has extraordinary health-preserving effects.
