ORGANIC HEMP PROTEIN
A superfood packed with high-quality, easily digestible proteins
with high nutritional value, in a purely natural form. Transform your
breakfast porridges or favourite smoothies into a protein-rich meal that will
keep you full. Make your own protein drinks, bars, or other post-workout snacks,
purely to your taste.
History of Hemp Protein
It all began in distant China
The discoverers of this vibrant green plant are undoubtedly the Chinese. The
then emperor Chen Nung recorded information about the incredible effects
of hemp in the first Chinese pharmacopoeia, thus
unleashing a wave of enormous interest not only from Chinese doctors of that
time. And as often happens, based on the migration of nomadic peoples and
verified experiences, awareness of this sacred plant spread throughout the
world. [1]
Tasty yet nutritious
The plant also became popular for its rapid growth and zero-waste
utilisation. Tasty and highly nutritious hemp seeds
were added to all sorts of dishes due to their high
protein and oil content. [1,2]
Growing interest
Interest in hemp products is constantly increasing, not only among
enthusiastic consumers but also among manufacturers of food
supplements on a purely natural basis. [2]
Cultivation and production
Hemp is a low-impact plant on the environment
Hemp is renowned for its very rapid growth and relatively high
resistance, which means no pesticides or herbicides
are needed. This makes it a crop with a low environmental
impact. After just 120 days from planting, hemp can
be harvested. The resulting hemp protein is obtained from the
press cakes generated during the pressing of hemp oil.
Finely ground powder
The press cakes are processed only by gentle grinding and
sieving, a mechanical process that does not require high
temperatures. The natural content of enzymes and active
substances in the resulting powder is thus preserved.
Composition and properties
A superfood packed with protein
Due to its high protein content, it is suitable not only for
athletes who have an increased need for it. The protein content
is even double that of beef steak, making it a protein-packed
superfood. Thanks to naturally present polysaccharides and plant
oils, it also boosts energy and provides a
kick. [3,4]
Composition
Powder from ground hemp seeds (Cannabis sativa)
Green boost not just after a workout
Proteins perform many important functions. In addition to building
muscles, they are necessary for the formation of hormones,
enzymes, blood, defence substances, and other structures. It is
important to ensure adequate intake, at every age. [5]
No worries
Hemp protein is made from hemp seeds, which do not
contain psychoactive substances, such as THC. [3] On the contrary,
given their high nutritional value, it would be a shame to avoid them. Moreover,
regulations associated with hemp products are very strict, so rest assured.
Usage
For breakfast, as a snack anytime…
Hemp protein is typical for its green colour and characteristic,
earthy taste with nutty undertones. You can add it to breakfast
porridges, smoothies, and raw desserts. Due to its composition and structure, it
is also an ideal ingredient for preparing homemade protein bars and drinks.
