Hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids vital for optimal health. Hemp Protein contains all 20 Amino Acids including the 9 Essential Amino Acids. There are 9 essential amino acids that your body can not produce on its own and hemp has them all. If you don’t consume foods rich in these essential amino acids, your health will be compromised. Amino acids work as a building block of proteins. Essential amino acids (contained in hemp) are the most digestible in the world. Hemp also contains vitamin A, E and D, and many B vitamins, sodium, calcium, dietary fiber and iron.

Hemp Seeds are one of the best vegetable sources of protein. The proteins contained in hemp are similar to proteins in the human body. Thus, hemp provides the right amount of amino acids to help our bodies produce protein. Hemp protein consists of globulins (edestin) and albumin. Approximately 65% of the protein in hemp seeds is made up of the globulin protein Edestin and is found only in hemp seeds.
Hemp is very easy to grow and is GMO free. The hemp plant requires very little pest control. It is also perfect for the American climate. According to the Hemp Industries Association, only about eight known pests out of a hundred can cause serious problems for hemp. This means it is mostly grown without pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. It grows extremely fast so it can provide natural alternatives to many industrial spheres, making it safer and more natural for human consumption.
