Application
In food manufacturing hemp protein powders are often used to improve on applications historically served by soybeans, peas, lentils, quinoa, pumpkin and flax, often used to fortify or enhance products in the baking, ready meal, pasta and health snack industries.
Overview: High protein content, great amino acid profile, rich in vitamins and minerals, high in both soluble and insoluble fibre, very low fat, no sugar or salt, very low in carbs, natural colour enhancer, along with its non-allergenicity and a mild flavour are just a few of the useful attributes for food manufacturers and domestic users alike.

NUTRITIONAL BREAKDOWN
Hemp protein is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids that the human body needs but cannot produce.

PROTEINS: Hemp Protein 65% Organic, naturally contains all 20 amino acids along with the easily digestible proteins edestin (65%) and albumin (35%) both of which are critical to ongoing health. About 65% of the proteins contained in hemp protein consist of the easily digestible protein edestin, a so-called storage protein (contains amino acids). The remaining 35% is albumin, a high-quality protein whose structure is similar to that of the protein in a chicken egg. About 50% of the protein content in blood plasma consists of albumin. It is also considered a transport protein for magnesium and calcium, for example. Both albumin and edestin are globular proteins ie soluble in water, acids and bases.
-
MINERAL AND VITAMINS: Hemp Protein 65% naturally contains plenty of nutrients like vitamins E and B (including folate) along with a bevy of minerals, such as phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, calcium, copper and iron. All of these contribute to supporting immunity at a cellular level and creating antibodies to fight free radicals and bacteria.
-
FIBRE: Soluble fibre turns into a nourishing gel in the gut that promotes a healthy microbiome. The other component, insoluble fibre increases gut transit times and helps to regulate gut functionality.
-
ENVIRONMENT: Sustainable. Due to its impressive capability for carbon sequestration, our hemp seed products are considered to be carbon neutral.
