Canadian Hemp Food Industry

๐Ÿ”ฅ Culture First mentioned: Ep. 117

The development of Canada's hemp food industry, which began with regulations in March 1998, initially focused on grain rather than fiber. Early hemp foods used sterilized seed from China with destroyed nutritional value (zero essential amino acids). Pioneered by Manitoba Harvest, Hemp Oil Canada, and Nutiva.

Andrea Herman discusses on episode. The hemp food industry came before fiber processing, which surprised early activists. By 2017 Canada still lacked full-blown fiber decortication facilities. Dr. Bronner's pushed legislation. Early hemp clothes would disintegrate within weeks. Ecolution was one of the first companies selling quality hemp clothing via enzyme washing.
