Hemp seeds and hemp protein is very popular here. I can’t seem to discern whether hemp is a grain or not. Would appreciate knowing whether hemp products are safe on a grain free diet. Thank you.
Hemp is a variety of the cannabis grown for fiber and seeds. It is a grain but considered to be gluten free. I, therefore, would not eat it if I wanted to be grain free.

Doris, can you provide an info source for your answer? I have done a little reading on the internet and no one is saying that hemp is a grain. According to the sources I’ve read, it is an herb.
Hemp seeds are well…. seeds. Whether or not they have an ingredient that mimics gluten, I really don’t know. I do know that hemp seeds are wonderfully healthy seeds to consume. Hemp oil has a great omega 3 to omega 6 ratio.
