Raw Organic Hemp Protein

Hemp protein is a plant-based protein powder made from the seeds of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa). The seeds are typically hulled and then pressed to extract the oil, leaving behind a fibrous meal. This meal is then finely ground into a powder.

Hemp protein is added to foods as a source of plant-based protein and fiber. Manufacturers use it in products like protein bars, smoothies, and baked goods to boost their nutritional content. It has a mild, nutty flavor that complements many food applications.

Hemp protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have evaluated hemp seed and its derivatives, but have not set a specific acceptable daily intake (ADI). Research suggests hemp protein may offer antioxidant benefits.
