Shelled Hemp SeedsOf 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— these are the good Essential
Fatty Acids we need for energy, and this is one of the highest
counts of all vegetable oils. These EFA’s are naturally
protected from oxidation by hemp’s own vitamin E (that
is why the hemp seed can be open to air, unlike ground flax).
Hempseed oil is also quite low in monounsaturated (<12%)
and saturated fats (typically 8.0% or lower), all in their
natural, heart-friendly state.
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.
