Hemp Seed is Nature’s Perfect High Protein Food with a Wide Variety of Benefits!
• Hemp protein is the gift of the vegetable
get a more complete protein source from
one place.
• Hemp seeds contain up to 36% protein.
• The protein in hemp seed is comprised of
approximately 65% of Edestin and can be
found only in hemp seed protein.
• Edestin aids digestion, is low in phosphorus
and is considered the backbone of human cellular DNA.
• The other one third of hemp seed protein is Albumin, another high quality globulin protein similar to that found in egg whites.
• Since hemp seed protein is 65% globulin Edistin, and also includes albumin, its
protein is readily available in a form quite similar to that found in blood plasma.
• Hemp protein contains all 20 known amino acids including the 8 essential and 2
semi-essential amino acids (EAA’s) our bodies cannot produce. Proteins are
considered complete when they contain all 9 essential amino acids in a sufficient
quantity and ratio to meet the body's protein requirements.
• Hemp seed oil may be nature's most perfectly balanced oil. It contains an ideal 3:1
ratio of omega-6's [linoleic acid] to omega-3's [alpha-linolenic acid] for long-term
use, and provides the omega-6 derivative gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).
• No other single food source has the essential amino acids in such an easily
digestible form, nor has the essential fatty acids in as perfect a ratio to meet human
nutritional needs.
• Hemp seed is an excellent source of calcium and iron. Whole hemp seeds are also a
good source of phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper and manganese.
• Hemp seed is gluten free and consequently will not trigger symptoms of celiac
disease.
• Hemp protein is also free of oligosaccharides found in soy, which cause stomach
upset and gas.
• As of today, there are no reported cases of any known allergies to hemp seeds.
