The Amazing Hempseed

In The Beginning...

Hempseed was cultivated in China more than 6,000 years ago, from a wild plant that grew in central Asia. The Chinese recognized hemp's amazing nutritional value, and used it as a food source long before soy foods.

An Ancient Food - about a thousand years ago, hemp traveled to Europe, where peasants used the plant in several ways, one of the most popular being the making of hemp butter by grinding the tasty seeds.

A Nutritional Powerhouse

These seeds are considered by leading researchers and medical doctors to be one of the most nutritious food sources on the planet.

Packed with Nutrition - These seeds contain 33 percent purely-digestible protein and it's rich in iron and vitamin E as well as omega-3 and GLA.

Government Approved - A recent report funded by the Canadian government states that hemp protein is comprised of 66 percent high-quality edistin protein, and that the seed contains the highest percentage of this of any plant source.

Hemp also contains three times the vitamin E contained in flax. Unlike soy, hemp is NOT genetically-modified, and it doesn't contain the anti-nutritional qualities commonly found in soy.

Got Your EFAs Today?

Because the human body produces no Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), it is important that EFAs be consumed on a regular basis. It is estimated that more than 90 percent of Americans take in too little of one of the most important EFAs - omega-3 - which is found in flax, walnuts, deep-water fish, and hempseeds.

Talk to Your Doctor - EFAs are the "good fats" that doctors recommend as part of a healthy, balanced diet. The quality of omega-3 is vital, and can be diminished by oxygen, heat, and light. Thus consume the freshest seeds possible and store them in a dark, cold environment such as a refrigerator.
