Shelled Hemp Seeds

Of the 3 million plus edible plants that grow on Earth, no other single plant source that we know of can compare with the nutritional profile of hemp seeds.

Both the complete protein and the essential oils contained in hemp seeds are in ideal ratios for human nutrition. Sixty-five percent of the protein content in hempseed is in the form of globulin edestin (from the Greek "edestos," meaning edible). Your body uses Hempseed protein in its raw state, while soybeans have to be processed. Our hemp contains no THC, (the psychoactive substance in marijuana,) and no gluten nor toxins. The green coloured fragments in hemp seeds show the high chlorophyll content and that makes them a natural detoxifier. Hemp seeds have been eaten since ancient times, and have been known to heal many conditions. Hempseed is the most practical green food!

Hemp Seeds are delicious raw protein.

If you've had hempseed before, you're in for a real treat with our Organic Hemp Seeds as they are fresher than what is typically available. Pour them generously into soups, salads, shakes, and on cooked quinoa, spelt or other whole grains for breakfast – you will be satisfied well past noon! They are so good to use as a protein supplement instead of costly powders. Also try them in pasta dishes, muffins, healthy cookies, etc.

Hempseed protein contains all nine essential amino acids.

And it features a high content of the two sulphur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine, usually underrepresented in vegetable proteins. Depending somewhat on variety, hemp protein provides a very attractive amino-acid spectrum and nutritional value, superior to that of soy protein. Hempseed protein also contains a high proportion of glutamic acid, an important neurotransmitter that often is in short supply under stress.

Hemp Seeds contain a marvellous vegetable oil that contains 78% polyunsaturated fats

Hemp Seeds are a rich source of Essential Fatty Acids

— namely Omega-6 (LA- linolenic) and Omega 3 (ALA alpha linolenic). EFA's are called essential for the good reason that our bodies can’t make them and they are needed for the healthy functioning of the body's cells. As regulators, the LA and ALA fatty acids provide stability and control the movement of all substances in and out of our bodies' building blocks. This is very key and vital to our health.

Hemp Seeds are a good source of Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA), which help the body’s production of eicosanoids (hormone precursors), therefore, many people benefit by normalizing the endocrine system. Women find hemp oil in their diets helps relieve pre-menstrual syndrome and extreme symptoms of menopause. Some of the other benefits of having all these nutrients in the diet include an increased metabolism, lower cholesterol, better digestion, general vigour, improved skin and hair condition, and an improved immune system. Why pay for expensive, processed capsules when you can enjoy the whole living food?

Nutritional Comparison of Hempseed to Soybeans

* Please note that soybeans have the anti-nutritional factor, called trypsin inhibitor, which prevents protein absorption. It has been observed that more soy equates to less health and reduced thyroid function. And a significant portion of the population is allergic to soy. The protein in hempseed is a much higher quality, it is easily digestible, and therefore virtually non-allergenic.
