What is hemp milk?

Hemp milk is the liquid obtained from blending hemp seeds and water. It has a milky appearance; its flavour is reminiscent of nuts; and it is a good alternative for those who do not want to consume animal milk. Nowadays we can find many vegan alternatives to traditional cow's milk: vegetable drinks are becoming more and more popular and can have many different flavours and nutritional value.

Hemp milk is one of the best alternatives to cow's milk as it does not contain lactose, which makes it a good option for lactose-intolerant people. In addition, it can contribute to improving health.

Given that it is made from hemp seeds, which do not contain any THC, this drink does not produce any psychoactive effects.
