What is Hemp Protein?
Hemp protein is a plant-based protein made from ground hemp seeds. It contains all nine essential amino acids, as well as omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, fibre, and minerals like magnesium, iron and zinc. The omega 3 in hemp is alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
Hemp is not one of the 14 major food allergens. Its nutty flavour works well in smoothies, shakes and baking, making it a nutritious and sustainable protein option for a plant-based diet.
