Surprising Uses for Hemp
Hemp is one of the most versatile plant fibres on the planet. This quick-growing plant can be used in just about any way plant fibres can be used. It is durable, strong, and breathable, making it an almost perfect organic fibre.
Hemp can be used to make cloth by itself, and it has been used this way for centuries. Relics of ancient humans have been found that are shrouded in hemp cloth. It can be mixed with other fibres to create durable and soft cloth as well. It is extremely strong, holds its shape well, and is quite durable when made into a fabric.
Hemp can also be used in paper. In fact, several classic works of literature, including the original Alice in Wonderland, were written on hemp paper. The plant is also edible, and the seeds are used as animal feed and in the production of many vegetarian dishes.
