Why Hulled Hemp Seeds?
It's the hemp oil (EFA's, Omega-6 and Omega-3), protein and less fiber than hemp flour!
Hemp seeds are one of the most nutritious foods on earth. Tasting similar to pine nuts and sunflower seeds, hemp seed flour can be used in any recipe. Absolutely perfect for your morning smoothie, or added to cereal and Chia Meal.
Hemp Seed Proteins
Hemp seed protein can supply any diet with a vegetarian source of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, chlorophyll, and a complete, balanced gluten-free source of the essential amino acids.
Common proteins are often classified as structural (fibrous) or biologically active (globular). What makes globular proteins so special is that they are precursors to some of the most vital chemicals in the body:
-
Hormones (which regulate all the body processes)
Hemoglobin (which transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitric oxide)
Enzymes (which catalyze and control biochemical reactions)
Antibodies (immunoglobulins which fend off invading bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, as well as toxins or antigens as they enter the body).
The total protein content of hemp seed is about 65% of the globular protein edestin, which closely resembles the globulin found in human blood plasma. It is easily digested, absorbed, and utilized by humans and vital to maintaining a healthy immune system. Edestin has the unique ability to stimulate the manufacture of antibodies against invasive agents and is nearly phosphorus-free, which is important for kidney ailments. The other important protein in hemp seed is albumin, which is also a highly digestible protein because of its globular shape. Albumin is a major free radical scavenger.
"A pound of hemp seed would provide all the protein, essential fatty acids, and dietary fiber necessary for human survival for two weeks."
Hemp Seeds As Medicine*
Throughout history, various parts of the hemp plant have been used for medicinal purposes. Please note that the following deals only with the use of hemp seeds and not of marijuana from the flowers or leaves. It is the seed, or nut, that contains the most valued components for achieving longterm health.
Hemp seed has been used extensively throughout Asia, especially in China, where the hemp plant originated. Whether in the form of oil, decoction, powder, infusion, paste, or whole, it was a vital ingredient in many formulas.
Of any food found today, hemp seeds have the most perfect ratio of the essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids required by humans. Since the late 1970's, dozens of studies have shown the power of omega-3 and/or omega-6 fatty acids in preventing and treating many illnesses and conditions. These studies have been published in such respected medical journals
