Hemp seeds contain up to 36% protein.
The protein in hemp seed is comprised of approximately 65% Edestin and can be found only in hemp seed protein.
Edestin aids digestion, is low in phosphorus and is considered the backbone of human cellular DNA.
Hemp protein contains all 20 known amino acids including the 8 essential and 2 semi- essential amino acids (EAA’s) our bodies cannot produce. Proteins are considered complete when they contain all 9 essential amino acids in a sufficient quantity and ratio to meet the body’s protein requirements.
No other single food source has the essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form, nor has the essential fatty acids in as perfect a ratio to meet human nutritional needs.
Hemp seed is an excellent source of calcium and iron. Whole hemp seeds are also a good source of phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper and manganese.
Hemp seed is gluten free and consequently will not trigger symptoms of celiac disease.
