TOWG Organic Hulled Hemp Seeds 200g

Hemp seed's popularity has grown in the United States since the early '90s, but it can be traced back thousands of years to ancient China, Egypt, Persia, and other cultures where it was a highly revered food source.

Hemp seeds can be eaten raw, ground into a meal, made into hemp milk (similar to soy or almond milk), prepared as a tea, and used in baking. Hemp seed is a highly nutritious source of protein. Plus many people think it is better tasting and more digestible than the soybean. Hemp seeds are also free of the common allergens associated with soy, dairy, gluten, and tree nuts.

Organic raw hemp seeds are chock full of nutrition and protein by the spoonful. In fact, hemp seeds are one of the world's most nutritious seeds. They are a source of vitamin E and contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain a healthy body. Adding to the benefit, hemp seed is one of only a few sources of beneficial gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and stearidonic acid (SDA). It has a balanced ratio of omega 3 to 6 fats at around a three to one ratio.

Protein: Hemp is about 33 percent protein, in an easily digestible form that contains 10 essential amino acids. This high protein content is comparable to that in soy and higher than in nuts, other seeds, dairy products, meat, fish, or poultry. Many people also find that hemp seed protein does not cause bloating or gas, like other proteins, shakes, may.

Fiber: Hemp seed flour has a fiber content of 40 percent, which is the highest of all flour grains.
