Hemp hurd (also called shives) is made from the inner core fibers of the hemp stalk. You can use hemp hurd in basically the same way that you’d use wood chips or something similar.

Hemp hurd can also be used as a green building material in hempcrete, mulch, ceilings, and tiles. You can use it to make a construction board like particleboard. People also use it as a filler. It’s a naturally biodegradable product and is great for sustainable housing and biodegradable building structures.

Used in soils and in hemp plastics, this eco-friendly industrial material is very cheap to buy and can be purchased by the pound. The ways that you can use this versatile material are numerous.

The outer layer of the hemp straw contains a very strong fiber. Hemp fiber is the strongest of all the natural fibers, so it is actively used for the production of ropes, cords and tarpaulins.

Areas of application of fiber:

• ropes, cords and twine;
• furniture and hidden elements of car interiors;
• non-woven material, geotextile;
• insulation and construction materials;
• production of paper and packaging materials;
•  pet supplies;
• fillers for toys;
• decorative products;
• biocomposites.

Hemp hearts are raw, shelled hemp seed interiors. Shelling the hemp seeds allows for more nutrition to be absorbed in eating them since the inner heart of the seed is exposed. They have a soft texture and a nutty taste.

Hemp hearts, with few exceptions, hold the record for protein content among other products of plant and animal origin. The protein concentration reaches an incredible 35%! This makes the product especially important for vegetarians and vegans. Hemp hearts contain an almost complete set of amino acids and building blocks of proteins that can be found in meat and dairy products.

Meal is the remnants of oilseeds after extraction of oil from them by cold stamping and pressing. Hemp meal is a unique source of protein and natural carotene. It is an effective means for weight loss and removal of toxins and salt from the body. Hemp meal does not contain psychoactive components, and vitamins are preserved through non-thermal treatment. Hemp meal is a high-calorie product that is a useful feed for cattle, horses and pigs, because the amino acid composition and biochemical value per kilogram of hemp meal is significantly ahead of and potatoes and barley.

Hemp straw is being thermally, biologically or chemically treated. This treatment destroys the pectin in the straw, which binds the wood and cover fabrics to the fibrous bundles. Fiber and hards are obtained from straw.

Hemp seeds are a rich source of nutrients. Part of the hemp plant, these seeds are technically a nut that can be eaten raw or used to make milk, oil, cheese substitutes, or protein powder.The taste is nutty and herbaceous. Source of proteins, vitamins, trace elements, chlorophyll and dietary fiber. Hemp seeds are used for human nutrition. The protein content in hemp seeds is 20-24%, which is higher than the protein content in flax seeds (18%). Hemp proteins contain all eight essential amino acids.
