Marijuana Flavoured Ice Cream Created as Tribute to Bob Marley
As a tribute to Jamaica’s legendary reggae singer Bob Marley, one ice cream parlour in northern Italy has created a hemp flavoured ice cream.
According to The Local Italy, the unusual delicacy has been produced by the ice parlour in the Ligurian resort town of Alassio and will be sold alongside the slogan, “it tastes good and it does good”.
The ‘Bob Marley’ ice cream was produced in collaboration with Canapa Ligura, a local organization in Italy which aims to raise awareness of the health benefits of hemp.
The recipe uses peeled hemp seeds as a base, which the producers claim contains “beneficial properties due to the high presence of fatty acids, which make it a valuable way to fight and prevent different ailments including arteriosclerosis, cholesterol, osteoarthritis, respiratory disorders, eczema and acne.”
Hemp is a variety of the cannabis plant often used for making fibres and textiles, and its seeds contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
