[quote=flyingwelshman;295772]is a licensed hemp producer.

His crop is THC free (or extremely reduced) I understand.

He presses his seeds to extract the oil I would like to try this process- which has been approved for human consumption. That's awesome!! They have been found to be very high (pardon the pun) in the alpha-linoleic acids (omega-3, omega-6). These fats have been proven to have excellent health benefits. yes they have!! Which raises the question, What is the vitamin/mineral content, and how is it put together, in this herb?

The cake (residue left after pressing) gets used to feed his animals and ground into flour. From the seeds??

He is working with a poultry producer to see if the healthy components of the hemp are retained in the bird flesh. I would be interested in finding out more about this process.

So far the results have been delicious. I told him he should call the product 'fried chicken', he just rolled his eyes. The CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) is evaluating the hemp as an animal feed. I wonder what the USA is doing, if anything.

I have experimented with the hemp and found it can have a nice flavour.
Now that's interesting...
I have used the oil for cooking, but it is at its best as a drizzle (the best was drizzled over duck carpaccio), hmmmm the hemp flour can be used in baked goods but it contains no gluten and has a strong flavour so when I use it in bread I use about 10 - 15% hemp flour to 85 - 90% wheat flour.
This is interesting indeed!

I also made a pretty mean pasta dough with the hemp. Really??? I used it in the same proportion with semolina flour as with the breads as you need that gluten to give the pasta its texture. I made pasta dough once so I know the process you are talking about. I used the pasta dough to make a hemp and bison lasagna.It sounds delicious!! I wonder what I could do with a crawfish etouffee'??
