9. Contain Essential Fatty Acids
Hemp seeds are more than 30 percent fat and are especially rich in alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) and linoleic acid (omega-6). Your brain needs fats to work as fuel for cognitive function. Healthy dietary fats are also necessary for your body to metabolize certain vitamins and minerals in the food you eat. Some, such as vitamins A, B, D, and K, need fat to "unlock" and be used by the body. Hemp seeds also contain all nine essential amino acids, essential for building muscles.
