Hemp Seeds – Protein Rich Power Food

Hemp seeds offer a remarkable high nutrient density. They are rich in easily digestible protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, fibre and lecithin in perfect balance for our body.

Hemp has a ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids which is ideal for humans. This optimum functional ratio is considered to be 4:1. A reason why hemp seeds are an excellent brain food, help to beautify the skin and promote cellular oxygenation.

Edible hemp is a perfect food for athletes as it builds muscles and increases stamina. Vegetarians and vegans also benefit from this rich and high-quality protein source.

Whole hemp seeds, in contrast to shelled seeds, have a high fibre content.

Why we love Hemp Seeds

Hemp seeds are a wonderful gift of nature. Not only are they one of the most nutritious foods on the planet but also the most environmentally friendly food ever! Hemp easily grows anywhere, requires no pesticides or herbicides and is raw material for the production of almost everything we need in our modern society, such as clothing, paper, biodegradable plastics, fuel, cars, building insulation, etc.

In addition, hemp seeds provide outstanding health benefits. They contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids (including the rare gamma-linolenic acid!), which the body cannot produce itself and which are considered vital for maintaining human health.

Hardly any other plant source contains essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form or essential fatty acids in such perfect  ratio for human beings!

Because they are so rich in essential nutrients, we make sure we have them every day in good amounts. A feat not difficult to achieve since hemp seeds are truly a delicious and versatile food.

Verwendung

Hemp seeds can be sprinkled on salads, soups and on virtually any other dish. Add  as ingredient to cereals, smoothies, desserts and nut milk. Also tasty just like that.

• Beginner or child (ages 2-9): 15-30 grams a day
• Teens (ages 10-18): 30-50 grams
• Adults: 50-75 grams a day

Hemp seeds are ideally eaten raw – not cooked.

Hemp seeds do not contain the enzyme inhibitors typically found in seeds. This is why they are great to be eaten raw without having to soak them in water beforehand. You can also drink fresh hemp milk if you mix the seeds into water and then strain the milk-like drink (see recipe page).
