Our shelled raw hemp seeds are certified organic. They are fantastic for sprinkling onto salads, adding to smoothies, energy balls, and scooping up by the handful!
Hemp seeds are are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. Hemp seeds are the only edible seeds with gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).
Hemp seeds are a highly nutritious source of protein, and are better tasting and more digestible than the soya bean.
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.
Ancient foods
We're really into ancient foods here, knowing that we need to hear their messages to progress beyond the state we find ourselves in at the moment. Hemp seed oil contains 54.4% linolenic acid (Omega-3), 18.3% linoleic acid (Omega-6), 2-5% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and 1-2% stearidonic acid; and is one of only four oils to do so, it's the cheapest of the four, too.
Hemp's ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids is about 4:1 which mirrors the primitive diet the human race evolved on for 2.5 million years. This ratio of fatty acids is worth researching on the Internet. Due to UK law, we can't tell you more.
