Hemp

Hemp, derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, has emerged as a nutritional powerhouse in the form of seeds and protein powder. Hemp seeds, tiny and nutty-flavored, are packed with essential fatty acids, protein, and fiber, making them a superfood in their own right. They are particularly noted for their balanced ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are crucial for heart health and immune function. Hemp protein powder, made by grinding the seeds into a fine powder, is a highly digestible plant-based protein source, rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. It's an excellent alternative protein source for vegetarians and vegans, and for those looking to reduce their meat consumption. Unlike other plant proteins, hemp protein contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Both hemp seeds and hemp protein powder are incredibly versatile in culinary uses. The seeds can be sprinkled on salads, blended into smoothies, or added to baked goods for a nutritional boost. Hemp protein powder is often used in protein shakes, bars, and as a flour substitute in baking. The cultivation of hemp is environmentally friendly. Hemp plants are naturally resistant to most pests, reducing the need for chemicals. They also grow quickly and have a high yield, making them an efficient and sustainable crop. Furthermore, hemp plants are beneficial for the soil, leaving it in better condition than when they were planted.

Available as hemp seed and hemp protein powder (50% protein), both in organic and conventional.
