Here are some side effects of hemp seeds, shared by nutritionist Rakshita Mehra.
Digestive problems
Hemp seeds are rich in fiber, so consuming them in large quantities without drinking enough water can lead to bloating, gas, and indigestion.
Allergic reaction
Some people may experience allergic reactions to hemp seeds, such as itching and swelling.
Blood thinner
Hemp seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties and can act as a natural blood thinner. Therefore, people taking blood thinners such as warfarin or aspirin should be cautious when consuming hemp seeds.
Excess calories
Hemp seeds are high in calories, so consuming them in large amounts can cause excess calories, leading to weight gain.
