Planet Based Foods highlights the need for a cleaner, nutrient-dense product that has sustainability at the forefront
SAN DIEGO, April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hemp is often referred to as nature's purifier. For every ton of hemp produced, 1.63 tons of carbon is removed from the air, making hemp more effective at removing carbon dioxide from the air than trees.
There are thousands of uses for its seed, oil and fiber. The North American Industrial Hemp Council estimates hemp can be used to make more than 25 thousand products including food, textiles, paper and even building materials.
Top 5 Environmental Benefits of Hemp
1. Uses less water
2. Prevents soil erosion
3. Pest resistant
4. Reduces CO2
5. Drought tolerant
It only takes four months to yield a hemp crop. Hemp roots can grow up to nine feet deep, helping hold the soil together, reducing erosion. Hemp also produces high quantities of biomass (renewable organic material) that returns to the earth and decomposes, enriching the ground where it's grown. So, because the soil is cleaner, the crops are healthier.
Since 2019, Planet Based Foods, has been focused on transforming hemp protein into plant-based foods. The company offers the first plant-based meat featuring hemp as the primary ingredient.
Braelyn Davis, co-founder and chief executive officer, said he started Planet Based Foods to create something new in the food system. Enter hemp seed, which Braelyn describes as an ingredient that is nutrient dense, perceived as clean and sourced sustainably.
