Raw & Organic Hemp Foods

Hemp food is the highest source of essential fatty acids in the plant kingdom.

Our raw organic hemp seeds are sweet, creamy, and delicious (taste of hemp seeds is dependent on moisture level during harvest season: too much moisture contributes to a slightly bitter aftertaste).

We've had a dream season this time around: we guarantee that you will love our Canadian-grown, certified organic hemp seeds (this new crop comes from a special grade-A organic hemp with 5% GLA content, more than double the norm of 2% GLA found in other varieties of hemp seeds).

Of the 3 million plus edible plants that grow on Earth, no other single plant source can compare with the nutritional value of hempseeds. Both the complete protein and the essential oils contained in hempseeds are in ideal ratios for human nutrition. Sixty-five percent of the protein content in hempseed is in the form of globulin edestin, so that it can actually be used by the body in its raw state (unlike that in soybeans, which have to be cooked or sprouted). (The word edestin comes from the Greek "edestos," meaning edible.)

Hemp food is also utterly delicious. If you've never had hemp seed nuts before, you're in for a real treat. Hemp seed nuts combine the best qualities of pine nuts and cashews at a fraction of the price. Our organic hemp foods contain no THC, the psychoactive substance in marijuana (so you won't get high on them).

Hemp is the oldest food known to mankind. Hempseed oil contains 54.4% linolenic acid (Omega-6), 18.3% linoleic acid (Omega-3), 2-5% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and 1-2% stearidonic acid; and as such is one of only 4 oils to do so: hemp oil is also the most economical of the group.

Hemp's ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids is about 4:1 which mirrors the primitive diet the human race evolved on for 2.5 million years. This ratio of fatty acids has been shown to be beneficial for the prevention of heart disease and cancer, especially omega 3 fatty acids.

Tidbits:

The deeply soothing green color of hemp seeds and oil comes from their high chlorophyll content (yes, hemp is the green food of the New Millennium!). One of nature's seemingly miraculous substances, chlorophyll has been known to heal many conditions long thought incurable; its many healing properties have been a mystery that has so far eluded modern science. Incidentally, chlorophyll is also the main ingredient in wheat grass, another highly healing food that was discovered and promoted by the late Dr. Ann Wigmore.

Will I fail a urinalysis test if I eat hemp seed foods?

No. It has been documented in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology, ISSN 0146-4760, Volume 32, Number 6, July/August, pp.428-432 that eating hemp food products under 10ppm THC will not cause a false positive drug test. All of our hemp food products contain under 10ppm THC. (info from Manitoba Harvest)

Is your hemp genetically modified to bring down the THC?

No. The very low THC variety hemp seeds that we use has been selectively bred, not genetically modified. All of our hemp seeds are original source and contain no Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). (info from Manitoba Harvest)

Hulled. The absolute best of its kind. Not all hemp seeds are equal. Ours is organic, raw, potent, and 100% THC-free! None of the goodness has been taken out; none of the live enzymes has been killed. Nutty, tasty, rich, delicious (taste varies slightly from batch to batch, depending on the humidity and moisture level of each particular harvesting season). Grown in Canada and packaged in Canada and the US. Highly recommended.

Snack on the organic hemp seeds out of hand, sprinkle them on salads and other dishes, or blend them in your smoothies...the possibilities are endless.

Please note: Folks in Canada, where our organic hemp seeds are grown, often refer to hemp seeds as hemp protein (due to hemp seeds' naturally high protein content). So don't be surprised if your package of hemp seeds says "hulled hemp protein" on the outside. :) They are in fact raw & organic hulled whole hemp seeds. Hemp protein powder, on the other hand, is referred to as "Powdered Hemp Protein" or "Hemp Pro" on the package.

Hempseed oil is among the lowest in saturated fats at 8% of total oil volume. Only flax oil has more linolenic acid than hemp oil at 58% , but hempseed oil is the highest in total essential fatty acids at 80% of total oil volume.

The essential fatty acids in hemp oil were used by Dr. Joanna Budwig (nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize every year since 1979) to successfully treat "terminal" cancer patients, as well as those suffering from cardiovascular disease, glandular atrophy, gall stones, kidney degeneration, acne, dry skin, menstrual problems and immune deficiency.

Hemp oil and infants: EFA's (Essential Fatty Acids) are essential to the development of the pre and post-natal baby. When LA or omega-3 is deficient in a child's diet, growth is slowed, especially in the brain, and skin problems occur, such as eczema and rashes. Colic and diarrhea are also more common.

Ultimately, even above and beyond hemp oil's many documented and many more undocumented health-giving benefits, many people make organic hemp oil a regular part of diet because of its great taste: nutty, smooth, rich, creamy, sweet, and...simply scrumptious. Yummm...

Tidbits: The deep green color of hemp foods comes from their high chlorophyll content, which is widely acknowledged as one of the most healing substances in nature; chlorophyll is incidentally also the main ingredient in the composition of wheat grass, another highly healing plant food.

We don't but you can also do this if you wish by stirring some of our raw & organic hemp oil into our organic hemp butter to taste.)
