Canada Hemp Seed
Product Information
Hemp was first cultivated in China more than 6,000 years ago, and was used as a food source long before soy foods. Hempseed is considered by leading researchers to be one of the most nutritious super foods on the planet — packed with protein, vitamin E, Omega-3, and GLA.
There are numerous Health Benefits. Hemp contains pure, digestible protein, with a good balance of all eight essential amino acids. Hemp is not only delicious, but comprised of smaller-chain edistin and albumin protein, making it the gold standard of plant foods. Hemp has twice the iron and magnesium (a key mineral often depleted by industrial agriculture) contained in flax.
Hemp is a gift of nature and a complete protein. Enjoy the world's most nutritious seeds, either plain or as a delicious condiment. Our Hemp Seed Hearts™ are 33% digestible pure protein, are rich in vitamin E, magnesium, as well as Omega-3 (ALA) and Omega-6 (LA) — the essential fatty acids (EFAs) doctors recommend.
Unlike flax, hemp contains valuable Super Omega-3 (SDA) and Super Omega-6 (GLA), which help our bodies metabolize fat.
To ensure the highest nutritional quality, a mechanical cold-shelling process removes the hempseed’s hard outer shells, yielding a 100% raw gourmet superfood that tastes like pine nuts.
Eat 4-5 tablespoons daily by adding to cereal, omelets, yogurt, soups, snacks, smoothies, salads, pasta, veggies, dressings, and desserts. Consider making fresh hemp milk in your blender. To conserve the EFAs, do not heat shelled hemp seeds above 325°F.
Our Canadian farmers grow this hemp without pesticides or herbicides which makes this product safer for you and the planet! Growing hemp (a nonpsychoactive crop) restores our soils and conserves forests, contributing to a healthy and sustainable world.
Storage: It is best to keep shelled hemp seed refrigerated and air tight.
