Shelled hemp seeds, certified organic
Our shelled raw hemp seeds are certified organic. They are fantastic
for sprinkling onto salads, adding to smoothies, energy balls, and scooping up by the handful!
Hemp seeds are are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. Hemp seeds
are the only edible seeds with gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).
Hemp seeds are a highly nutritious source of protein, and are better
tasting and more digestible than the soya bean.
About hemp
There are over 3 million edible plants on our planet, and no other single
plant source can compare with the nutritional value of hemp seeds. Both
the complete protein and the essential oils contained in hemp seeds are
in ideal ratios for human nutrition. 65% of the protein content is in
the form of globulin edestin, so that it can actually be used by the body
in its raw state, unlike that in soya beans, which have to be cooked or
sprouted. The word edestin comes from the Greek "edestos," meaning
edible.
 Hemp is one of the purest, most complete plants on Earth. Its uses are
many and varied; of particular value to humans are the nutritional and
healing properties of Hemp seed and its oil.
Hemp grows almost anywhere and requires no pesticides or fertiliser.
The plant is good both for the soil and the atmosphere. The potential
for Hemp is vast - including sustainable bio-mass (power) and bio-diesel
(fuel).
Hemp also makes an excellent source of textile and paper. The fibres
are long and very strong, making the most beautiful fabric and paper.
Many of the world's most famous historical works are written on hemp paper.
It tastes wonderful!
Hemp seeds are very delicious. If you've never had hemp seed nuts before,
you're in for a real treat. They combine the best qualities of pine nuts
and cashews at a fraction of the price. Hemp seeds contain no THC, the
psychoactive substance in marijuana, so you won't get high on them, and
your granny can't disapprove.
Hemp seed mylk
You can access the full nutritional impact of the hemp seed by following
this simple recipe:
Soak your hemp seeds for 24 hours in distilled water with a few organic
almonds
Drain, rinse and blend in a blender with a little distilled water
Strain through a cloth or sieve
This mylk is now ready to drink and should be consumed immediately, although
it will keep for 48 hours refrigerated. It will combine well with all
fruits and vegetables. You can make it thicker by using less water. Try
adding maca, cacao,
mesquite powder, purple
corn extract, agave nectar
and/or pure synergy to
the mix before straining. It's wonderful.
If you have a hemp milk maker,
you'll have some great instructions on how to use your machine. It's easy
peasy, isn't it?
 Ancient foods
We're really into ancient foods here, knowing that we need to hear their
messages to progress beyond the state we find ourselves in at the moment.
Hemp seed oil contains 54.4% linolenic acid (Omega-3), 18.3% linoleic
acid (Omega-6), 2-5% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and 1-2% stearidonic acid;
and is one of only four oils to do so, it's the cheapest of the four,
too.
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 is worth researching on the Internet. Due to UK law, we can't tell you more.
Why raw?
Hemp seed oil in its raw, unrefined state, has many benefits, which we're not allowed by law to tell you about. We suggest you look it up on the Internet. Once oil is processed and heated, many benefits can be lost. Cooking oil (ie: frying, roasting, etc) destroys the nutrients and makes the oil undesirable for a clean body.
