(Food-Beverage-News.Com, March 28, 2018 ) Hemp is a sustainable crop, which is seeded toward the end of May or during early June. The hemp plants are grown close together and possess large and broad leaves. The harvesting of hemp begins around 120 days after seeding. Scientists believe that humans have been cultivating hemp for over ten thousand years, owing to its nutritional, medicinal, and industrial properties. As a crop, hemp is known to be one of humanity's first domesticated crops. Over the years, hemp-based foods have emerged as "superfoods" in the health and wellness food category in North American and European markets.
Publisher's analysts forecast the global hemp-based foods market to grow at a CAGR of 20.3% during the period 2016-2020.
Hemp-based food products have gained wide acceptance for their easy digestibility as they are free from allergens, gluten, genetically modified organism (GMO), lactose, soy, phytoestrogen, and pesticides. Hemp seeds are a highly nutritious protein source and are increasingly used in packaged foods such as bread, pretzels, granola bars, and cereals. Hemp has emerged as a superfood in recent years due to its high content of essential fatty acids (EFAs) including omega-3 and omega-6. The market potential for hemp-based foods emerging as superfoods will witness a huge surge in the coming years owing to their blending capacity in terms of taste and functionality with other common food ingredients. Moreover, the growing demand for high protein content products will further contribute to the growth of the global hemp-based foods market over the forecast period.
