Organic Hemp Seed Protein

Organic hemp seed protein is a plant-based protein powder made from the seeds of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa L.). The seeds are typically cold-pressed to remove oil, and the remaining solids are ground into a fine powder. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids.

Manufacturers add hemp seed protein as a source of protein and fiber in foods and beverages. It is often found in protein powders, energy bars, and baked goods. Its mild, nutty flavor also complements various food products.

Hemp seed protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of plant-based protein and contains beneficial fatty acids. JECFA has evaluated hemp seed oil and found it safe for consumption. No specific health claims are approved by the FDA for hemp seed protein.
