    I heard apples have really high nutritional value. What about the branches on the apple tree?

  4. apples are a fruit weed is a vegetable. It's more like broccoli and its stem rather Apple and its branches

  5. Cannabis stem fibres are used for their industrial uses like making rope and textiles.
     
    The nutrition lies in the seed.  Not sure about much nutrition in the flowers and leaves themselves, aside from all the wonderful cannabinoids found inside the trichome.
     
    I wouldn't go eating any stems any time soon.  Just go buy  yourself some hulled hemp seed.  5 grams of protein per tablespoon plus iron plus essential fatty acids.
     
  6. the mj plant itself probably doesn't have any nutritional value. the stem sure as hell doesn't. it's similar to wood, containing cellulose, which we humans lack the ability to metabolize. 
     
  7. I make hemp sprouts for nutritional, salads, smoothies and stir fries. Hemp sprouts contain protein and the same nutritional amino acids as hulled, hemp seed. Unlike hulled hemp seed, hemp sprouts harvested at around day 5-7 have shed their shells and have just begun to show their first set of leaves after the cotyledons. This is the height of nutritional for the sprout as it still contains the nutritional value in the cotyledons as well as trace amounts of myrcene and CBD. Hemp sprouts taste a little spicy like red clover sprouts. In raw form, it makes a nutritional energy drink in smoothies. I feel more energetic drinking a strawberry banana hemp smoothie than coffee and the energy boost last longer. I think the energy boost is in part a synergistic effect of available myrcene and essential aminos. In stir fries and omelets, the CBD becomes decarbed, making the meal both nutritious and medicinal.
     
    I need CBD and myrcene to help with pain, muscle spasm and seizure control. I get my CBDs and myrcene from vaping high CBD strains and making delicious hemp sprout meals and beverages.
     
    This is what ready to eat hemp sprouts look like at day 5:

    The price of hemp seed should be going down now that it is legal to grow industrial hemp in many states, including states that have not yet legalized medical marijuana. Just make sure that the hemp source is organic and specifically grown for CBD production. I use a French hemp strain with the following cannabinoid profile:

    You don't want to use first generation Chinese hemp because although they may be listed as non-GMO and organic, there is concern that seed may not be as described and possibly contaminated with harmful bacteria, fungi, etc. Chinese seeds in general, not just hemp seeds, have this concern among the sprout community.
     
    You can grow hemp as a raw food source and seed for sprouting. The sprouts lack the awful chlorophyll taste of fresh leaves while retaining much of the aminos of hemp seed hearts. I do use fresh leaves from my high CBD strains, but  harvesting too much fresh leaves from flowering cannabis stresses the plants out unnecessarily and lowers the plant's energy that should be going into making sticky flowers rather than making new leaves. So if you are going to eat cannabis, use hemp leaves and hemp sprouts. Hemp sprouts are tasty!
     
    Cannabis is the perfect plant for space travel because it can be grown for nutritious sprouts and also for medicines, textiles and material that rivals graphene in strength and conductivity. It's a shame this plant, even in hemp form, remains illegal when it has so much value in non recreational use.
