Although most vegetarians are relatively healthy, a nutritionally balanced and protein rich diet may be deficient for some. Enzymes and amino acids, found in meat and dairy products are essential and aren't naturally produced by the body.
Hemp seeds are a complete, digestible, plant-based protein source containing all ten essential amino acids. Unlike soy, hemp does not contain enzyme inhibitors and phytates, so the nutrients in hemp can be easily absorbed by the body. Free of the allergy causing components found in soy, dairy or tree0nuts, hemp is an ideal protein alternative.
A fantastic alternative to soymilk or dairy, hemp milk provides the perfect balance of naturally occurring Omega-3 and Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids, all 10 essential amino acids with digestible protein, 15 essential vitamins and minerals, including 40% of your daily value of calcium. Hemp seeds are also free of the common allergens associated with soy, dairy, and tree-nuts.
Is Hemp the same as Marijuana?
No. Hemp and marijuana are similarly distant cousins within the species of Cannabis Sativa L. Hemp is grown for food and fiber and contains only trace amounts of the psychoactive component of marijuana. You will not fail a drug test by eating hemp foods. They are legal, safe and healthy to consume!
Hemp seeds are the edible part of the Cannabis Sativa L plant. They are a tiny fruit-like nut covered by a hard shell. They have been cultivated as a food for centuries in China, Europe and Africa. Shelled hemp seeds (hemp nuts) are similar in size to sesame seeds and can be eaten right out of the bag, sprinkled on salads, yogurt or baked in muffins and breads! Yum!
Contains Omegas
Hemp seeds are a good source of unsaturated fats containing a balanced 1:3 ratio of Omega-3 and 6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) -- the "good fats" that our body needs for the skin health, energy production, nervous system function, brain development, heart health and immune system support.
Compared to other milk alternatives, Living Harvest Hempmilk offers the highest source of Omega-3 and 6 EFAs. Rich and creamy, with a light, nutty flavor, Living Harvest Hempmilk is made from shelled hemp seeds grown sustainably on Canadian farms, without the use of pesticides and herbicides. It is free of allergy causing components found in soy, dairy and tree-nuts among the top 8 allergens, according to the FDA. Living Harvest Hempmilk is available in original, vanilla and chocolate and is perfect for fruit smoothies.
