Overview

This publication describes a sensory taste panel testing three cultivars of hemp and one juiced hemp product, providing insight into hemp’s market potential as an edible micro-green.

This publication describes a sensory taste panel testing three cultivars of hemp and one juiced hemp product, providing insight into hemp's market potential as an edible micro-green. (2 pages)
