Benefits

Cultivated for thousands of years in China, hemp has been used as a food and fiber crop long before soya beans. Luckily, they are not a major world crop, so they have never been genetically modified – unlike soy beans. A variety of cannabis, hemp has virtually no THC – you cant get high on hemps seeds, you can only get healthy. Today, research is being done that will prove that hemp seeds are one of the most nutritious foods in existence.

Consisting of 33 percent highly digestible protein (including all 8 essential amino acids), hemp seeds are also packed with omega-6, omega-3, and vitamin E oils and are rich in Iron and chlorophyll as well. These essential fatty acids (without which the human body cannot digest protein) help boost the immune system, as well as, prevent heart disease and cancer. The world renown expert on fatty acids, Udos Erasmus, says that hemp seeds have the perfect balance of omega-6 an omega-3 for humans.

Hemp seeds are made up of 65 percent of the protein Edestin, which is very similar to the globulin that is present in human blood plasma.

Hemp seeds are very easily digested and absorbed, and have the vital ability to stimulate production of antibodies. The other important protein in hemp seed is Albumin, which helps destroy free radicals.

Hemp seed is a perfect alternative source of protein for vegetarians because it contains all 20 amino acids (including the 8 essential aminos that adult bodies cannot produce), antioxidants, vitamins, chlorophyll, fiber, and essential fatty acids.

Hemp seeds are also a great alternative to using any soy, meat, or other cooked protein products because they are never genetically modified and do not require the use of herbicides or pesticides.

Our Certified Organic Shelled Hemp Seeds from Canada are sweet, creamy, nutty and delicious. Use hemp seeds in your smoothies, mix them into cereals or spreads, add them to energy bars, breads, crumble topping or other baked goods, sprinkle them on salads or just eat them plain as a snack food. Hemp seeds can be ground to make a tasty, nutty butter, or pressed to make delicious, green oil.

For the maximum nutritional and digestive experience, Raw Fusion recommends that you soak the hemp seeds 12 hours (changing water every 4-8 hours) to remove the seed’s natural enzyme inhibitors (which are very low in hemp seeds), phytic and oxalic acids.

If you chose to eat them raw, we highly recommend you take a digestive enzyme with proteases (protein-digesting enzymes) before eating them to help your body overcome the natural enzyme inhibitors found in all nuts and seeds.
