Hemp is one of the most adaptable and sustainable plants on the earth, but have you ever wondered what it is comprised of? Understanding the plant's composition can help you make more educated decisions regarding its usage in health, textiles, and even construction materials.
The Basic Structure of Hemp
Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is composed of several major parts:
Hemp Stalk
Bast fiber (outer layer): Strong and flexible, used in textiles, rope, and construction.
Hurd (shiv) (inner core): Woody, absorbent material used in hempcrete, animal bedding, and paper.
Hemp Leaves
Rich in terpenes and flavonoids, contributing to aroma and potential therapeutic effects.
Often used in teas or extracted for wellness products.
Hemp Flowers (Buds)
High in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, protein, and fiber.
Used in nutritional products such as hemp seed oil, protein powders, and snack bars [link to your “Hemp Supplements” or “Edibles” page].
Hemp Seeds
Contains cannabinoids like CBD (cannabidiol), CBG, and trace amounts of THC.

What Makes Hemp So Special?
Hemp’s natural composition makes it:
Sustainable – It grows quickly, needs little water, and restores soil health.
Non-psychoactive – Industrial hemp contains less than 0.3% THC, so it won’t get you high.
Multi-purpose – From eco-friendly textiles to CBD wellness products [internal link to “What Is CBD?” or “Benefits of CBD” blog], hemp’s utility spans industries.
Cannabinoids in Hemp: Not Just CBD
Many people associate hemp with CBD, but did you know it also contains:
CBG (Cannabigerol): Known as the “mother cannabinoid”
CBC (Cannabichromene): Being studied for mood and skin support
Terpenes: Aromatic compounds that enhance the entourage effect [link to blog explaining the entourage effect]
