IT'S ALL ABOUT HEMP AT THE CO-OP THIS WEEK
"
Alex Farewell-Prisaznuk, Assitant Merchandising Manager, Is Excited About This Week Being The 4th Annual Hemp History Week
  

What is Hemp?

Hemp is the distinct oilseed & fiber varieties of the plant species Cannabis sativa L. Similar to flax, hemp provides raw materials for both food & fiber. Hemp is one of America's heritage crops; both George Washington & Thomas Jefferson grew hemp and advocated its use. The Declaration of Independence was drafted on hemp paper & during World War II, farmers grew hemp for the USDA's Hemp for Victory program. 

Hemp Seeds

A nutrition powerhouse, hemp is also an environmentally sustainable solution for potentially thousands of products ranging from body care to plastics, paper, textiles, building materials and even ethanol. With a rapidly expanding market for hemp products, cultivating hemp is an untapped opportunity for American farmers.

 

Good For Our Bodies

Hemp seeds are a nearly perfect food source. High in digestible protein, healthy Omega essential fatty 

acids (EFAs) and naturally occurring minerals, hemp seeds are also free of gluten and have no known allergens.

 

Hemp In Food
Hemp Milk, Oil, Seeds & Powder 

Foods made from hemp seeds have become staples in co-ops and grocery stores across the country. The light, nutty flavor of hemp seeds make them a perfect raw ingredient for delicious breads, cereals, waffles, nut butters, protein powders, nutritional oils, non-dairy milk and even ice cream. At the Syracuse Real Food Co-op look for brand names such as Manitoba Harvest, Dr. Bronner's, Nutiva & Living Harvest. (See Alex's picks in section below for hemp product pricing.)

 

Good For The Earth 

Hemp In Industry
Hemp Used For Construction Materials

A low-impact agricultural product, hemp is a renewable resource that can be grown without pesticides or agricultural chemicals.

Hemp is a part of America's agricultural heritage. First grown in the 1600's at Jamestown, hemp is best suited to regions that also produce wheat and corn. Hemp can be grown organically and aids in weed suppression and soil building, making it a favored rotation crop.

 

What Hemp Isn't

It is important to note that hemp has no drug value. Hemp seed contains little to no measurable amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive ingredient in drug varieties of Cannabis. Using hemp products will not cause a false positive drug test. Learn more about the issue at www.TestPledge.com.

Stillwater Artisanal Ales
Stateside Saison
Brewed with the finest European malts & fresh aromatic hops from the United States & New Zealand. It's then fermented using a classic farmhouse ale yeast. This saison has a fruity hop character and a dry peppery finish that makes it such an excellent modern interpretation on a classic style.
Existent
Dark and dry, this saison has a belgian funk and floral hop presence. This is an excellent American style saison with rich caramel malts. Surprisingly dry for the dark malt presence.
Cellar Door
The summer seasonal from Stillwater.  This saison is brewed with the addition of sage,  giving the beer an herbal, white peppery flavor enhancing the base of German wheat & pale malts.  The  combination of Sterling & Citra hops provide an intricate blend of herbal grass & tangerine citrus flavors and aroma.
