While many protein powders use artificial flavouring, Hemp Protein Powder’s natural nutty flavour is all the flavour needed and can be mixed into juices, smoothies and protein shakes. To increase protein and decrease carbs in baked goods, you can also add hemp to pies, cakes, muffins and breads at a 25% hemp to 75% flour ratio.
Ingredients:
Hemp protein supplies the optimal balance of all of the essential amino acids. In fact, an important aspect of hemp protein is that it is a quality source of the amino acids arginine and histidine, both of which are important for growth during childhood, and of the sulphur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine, both of which are needed in the production of vital enzymes. Hemp protein also contains relatively high levels of the branched-chain amino acids that are crucial in the repair and growth of lean body mass, making a hemp protein shake after a workout a worthwhile investment.
Almost two-thirds of hemp protein is made up of edestin, a globulin protein found only in hemp seeds. This makes hemp the superior source for this protein in the plant kingdom. Edestin is a type of plant protein that is similar to protein found in the human body, and thus is perfectly suited to aid in meeting the body’s cellular needs such as DNA repair. Since much of hemp’s protein resembles that found in human blood, hemp protein is very easily digested and assimilated. In addition, another one-third of hemp’s protein is albumin, another high quality globulin protein also found in egg whites.
While hemp protein powder may contain more total fat than many other protein powders available today, it should be stressed that almost all of this fat comes from the essential omega-3 and 6 fatty acids. Hemp is recognized by the World Health Organization as having what is considered to be an optimal three-to-one balance of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids. It is this ratio that is believed to be ideal in promoting long-term well-being by decreasing the likelihood of developing heart disease, diabetes and depression. Importantly, the omega-6 present in hemp is also one of the few food sources of the fatty acid known as gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is showing promise in helping the fight against chronic diseases.
In the plant kingdom hemp is second only to soy in protein content. But it has several advantages over the soybean. Many soy protein isolate powders are processed with hexane, a petroleum solvent that has adverse impacts on the environment and human health. The resulting hexane-processed soy is utilized in many soy protein powders, cereals and bars. Soy protein also contains oligosaccharides that can cause stomach upset and gas in some individuals. Hemp Protein Powder is free of this irritant and there are no known allergens present in Hemp Protein Powder. Perhaps the most important difference, the non-organic soybeans used in many soy protein powders are often derived from genetically modified soybeans. Hemp is never genetically modified: it doesn't require Herbicides or Pesticides (or genetic modification) to thrive.

Our Hemp supplier controls the entire production process, from seed to milling to refrigerated storage and shipping, all using modern equipment in a kosher and organic certified facility that follows Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
The process starts with organic hemp seeds, harvested and freshly cold pressed to extract the oil. The cold press ensures that valuable enzymes are not destroyed and vitamins, minerals and nutrients remain intact. The pressed hemp meal is then cold-milled to separate the protein, with a good balance of healthy dietary fiber remaining (38%). Then the product is packaged in containers that are impermeable to light and oxygen and are flushed with an inert gas to seal in the freshness.
All this ensures a hemp protein powder that is pure, nutritious, and tasty. When hemp foods are fresh, they have a pleasant nutty flavor. Many cheap knock-off hemp products can have a sharp taste at the back of the throat from the near-rancid, heat-damaged oils they contain. Taste our hemp and you'll taste the difference cold-processing makes.
