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 minimum serving size of 1 level tablespoon (9 grams) per day is recommended as a food supplement*.
Hemp flour doesn't rise, has no gluten and is very hearty and therefore is not a flour that can be used in bread on it's own, you would need to mix it with other flours, unless you are making a flat bread or a cracker. A 3:1 ratio produces a hearty heavy loaf all the way to a 7:1 ratio which produces basically a loaf of bread with hemp flecks in it. Hemp flour is an excellent addition to your baking, adding the benefit of hemp proteins and the excellent fibre content of the hemp seed.
