Hemp Seed-Based Foods and Processing By-Products Are Sustainable Rich Sources of Nutrients and Plant Metabolites Supporting Dietary Biodiversity, Health, and Nutritional Needs.

ABSTRACT: Processing hemp seeds into foods generates several by-products that are rich in nutrients and bioactive phytochemicals. This paper presents a thorough plant metabolite analysis and a comprehensive assessment of the nutrient content of 14 hemp seed-based foods and by-products and evaluates their feasibility to deliver dietary needs and daily recommendations. The protein-85-product was the hemp food and hemp fudge the hemp by-product with the highest content of protein, 93.01 ± 0.18% and 37.66 ± 0.37%, respectively. Hemp seed-hull flour had the richest insoluble non-starch polysaccharide content (39.80 ± 0.07%). Linoleic acid was the most abundant fatty acid across all the hemp seed-based samples (ranging from 53.80 ± 2.02% in the protein-85-product to 69.53 ± 0.45% in the hemp cream). The o
