Hemp milk is prepared by the combination of hemp plant seeds (Cannabis sativa) and water. Hemp milk and other similar foods prepared from hemp seeds does not create same effects like marijuana and only contain slight concentrations of the psychotropic compound tetrahydrocannabinol. Hence its demand as an alternative for cow’s milk in coffee, smoothies, and cereal is increasing. Hemp milk is made from just seeds and water, however, commercial products contain salt, sweeteners, and thickeners as well.
The global hemp milk market is booming with the increase in vegan food culture. Also, nutrients count in hemp milk is promoting its consumption all over the world. Hemp milk contains essential proteins, fats, and minerals like calcium and iron. Along with these naturally occurring nutrients, commercially available hemp milk is generally fortified with additional phosphorus, calcium, and vitamins B12, A, & D. Moreover, most of the fats present in hemp milk are unsaturated essential fatty acids that include omega-6 and omega-3, which are considered to be vital for the synthesis of new tissue and membranes in the body. All these factors are primarily contributing to the growth of the market. However, hemp milk consumption can cause allergic symptoms due to its rich constituents of omega-3 and omega-6. On the other hand, the medical importance of hemp milk in preventing heart diseases and others will offer healthy growth opportunities to the market growth over the forecast period.
