What it is
Hemp seed protein is derived from the seeds of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa L.). After the oil is pressed from the seeds, the remaining solids are ground into a powder. This powder is a source of plant-based protein and fiber.
Why it's used
Hemp seed protein is added to foods as a source of protein and to improve texture. It is often found in protein powders, energy bars, and baked goods. Its mild, nutty flavor also complements many food products.
Health notes
Hemp seed protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of essential amino acids. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated hemp seeds and their derivatives, but no specific health claims are made by regulatory bodies regarding its consumption at typical dietary levels. Research is ongoing into the potential health benefits of hemp-derived compounds.
Allergen info
Hemp is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
