Munch on these: hemp achenes
- Share via
I loved your article on hemp as a food source [“Soy’s New Competition: Hemp,” May 14], but you failed to mention that hemp doesn’t have seeds per se. They are more correctly identified as an achene, which is defined as: A small, dry, indehiscent one-seeded fruit with a thin wall, as in the sunflower.
I hope to see more articles on this very good source of food and nutrition.
