About hemp
There are over 3 million edible plants on our planet, and no other single plant source can compare with the nutritional value of hemp seeds. Both the complete protein and the essential oils contained in hemp seeds are in ideal ratios for human nutrition. 65% of the protein content is in the form of globulin edestin, so that it can actually be used by the body in its raw state, unlike that in soya beans, which have to be cooked or sprouted. The word edestin comes from the Greek "edestos," meaning edible.
Hemp is one of the purest, most complete plants on Earth. Its uses are many and varied; of particular value to humans are the nutritional and healing properties of Hemp seed and its oil.
Hemp grows almost anywhere and requires no pesticides or fertiliser. The plant is good both for the soil and the atmosphere. The potential for Hemp is vast - including sustainable bio-mass (power) and bio-diesel (fuel).
Hemp also makes an excellent source of textile and paper. The fibres are long and very strong, making the most beautiful fabric and paper. Many of the world's most famous historical works are written on hemp paper.
Why raw?
Hemp seed oil in its raw, unrefined state, has many benefits, which we're not allowed by law to tell you about. We suggest you look it up on the Internet. Once oil is processed and heated, many benefits can be lost. Cooking oil (ie: frying, roasting, etc) destroys the nutrients and makes the oil undesirable for a clean body.
