Hemp coffee is made by blending roasted coffee beans with hemp seeds from the hemp plant. The seeds contain vitamins, minerals, fats, and protein. Combined with coffee, hemp coffee has a smooth, nutty flavor. Proponents say it is less acidic and may reduce effects like anxiety, headaches, and digestive issues associated with regular coffee.
By adding hemp seeds, hemp coffee provides protein and nutrients lacking in regular coffee. It may counter negative effects sometimes associated with regular coffee, like anxiety, while providing alertness from caffeine.
Overall, hemp coffee has a pleasantly nutty flavor. While not for everyone, it provides a unique, potentially healthy coffee alternative worth trying. The earthy richness and caffeine boosted my mood and energy without later fatigue or sickness. It helped me feel focused and able to handle work stress.
You can control caffeine and hemp levels in homemade hemp coffee. Besides hemp oil, additions like honey or herbs can provide flavor and additional benefits. Though bitter tasting, hemp seeds offer nutritional value missing from regular coffee.
Hemp coffee blends are growing in popularity for their potential wellness benefits versus traditional coffee. Hemp comes from Cannabis sativa, but contains little THC, so it does not cause a high. By using hemp seeds or powder with coffee grounds unique combinations are made. Some claim hemp counters negative caffeine effects like jitters while prolonging alertness. Research is still needed on specific benefits. But hemp as a functional food provides protein and other useful nutrients, making it a versatile addition to coffee.
