Hemp protein

Hemp protein is derived from the hemp plant and is an excellent source of plant-based protein.

It does not contain THC, the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. It is a very sustainable plant that can grow in different climates and different parts of the plant can be used in different ways.

History shows that hemp seeds as a food source go back thousands of years. Documents show that hemp was an important source of protein, fiber and medicine in the Mediterranean, Egypt and Morocco for many centuries BC.

You can eat hemp seeds in two ways: after removing the husks or as a powder made from ground seeds. Both methods are a great source of nutrition and many health benefits.

Health benefits of hemp protein
Hemp protein has many health benefits, which is why people have been eating it for thousands of years. Here are some of the top benefits of hemp seeds and hemp protein powder:

A lean source of protein
Hemp seeds and powders are lean sources of plant-based protein, making them a great addition to a plant-based diet. If you are trying to reduce the amount of meat you eat, you can try adding hemp products to your diet.
About 25% of all hemp seeds are protein and the seeds are relatively low in fat. Eating lean protein boosts metabolism, aids digestion, and promotes lean muscle growth.

Hemp protein does not contain any cholesterol or saturated fat, unlike many animal protein sources. Three scoops of hemp protein powder contains about 90 calories and 3 grams of fat, and 15 grams of protein per serving.

Hemp protein is full of amino acids
The human body needs 22 amino acids to function properly. Amino acids are used by the body to make proteins. The body gets amino acids from food, usually from animal products such as meat, milk and eggs. However, hemp products contain all the amino acids needed to repair muscle cells, regulate the nervous system and brain function. This makes it a great substitute for animal products, especially since your body can’t make many of these acids on its own.
