So What is Hemp Protein?

Hemp protein is a complete plant-based protein so it delivers all the amino acids your body needs and is suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets. It has one of the highest digestibility scores and no known allergens so it’s easy on the stomach and puts those nutrients right to work. Hemp protein contains omegas which help promote healthy inflammation and assist with muscle repair and recovery.* In fact, its omega content is closest to the ideal ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 that your body needs. Plus, its Omega-6 benefits come from Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) to help regulate metabolism and promote bone health.* Hemp protein is also rich in Magnesium, known as nature’s muscle relaxant, and has plenty of zinc, fiber, iron, folic acid and phosphorus, too.

Okay, So What Are Hemp Hearts?

So what are hemp hearts, exactly? After shelling or de-hulling the whole hemp seed, you’re left with the “hemp heart”—full of raw nutrition, nutty flavor and a great crunch. You’ll love this little super seed! You can eat them straight out of the bag or mix it up and add it to salads, cereal, yogurt, smoothies and more! They taste great because they’re made with the goodness of hemp, organic sweeteners and a touch of sea salt.
