Characteristics of Hemp Hulls:

1. High Fiber Content: Hemp hulls are particularly rich in dietary fiber, especially insoluble fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes regular bowel movements.

2. Nutritional Content: In addition to fiber, hemp hulls contain small amounts of the seed’s nutrients like protein, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.

Uses of Hemp Hulls:

1. Fiber Supplements: Due to their high fiber content, hemp hulls can be ground up and used as a dietary fiber supplement to promote gut health and regular digestion.

2. Animal Feed: Hemp hulls are sometimes used in livestock feed, as the fiber and residual nutrients can benefit the digestive systems of animals.

3. Composting: Because of their fibrous nature, hemp hulls can be composted and used to improve soil health. They add organic matter and promote soil aeration.

4. Textural Additive: Ground hemp hulls can be added to some food products for texture and fiber, though they aren’t commonly used this way in most everyday cooking.

5. Exfoliant: Hemp hulls are a great addition to exfoliants and scrubs for an all natural vegan option. 
6. Bio-Plastics: Milled hemp hulls can be added into bio-plastic and other composite recipes to make an eco friendly product.
