Hemp Nutrition

Why eat hemp foods? It’s simple: protein and omegas!

Hemp foods are rich in protein and have all 10 essential amino acids. They also contain omega-3, omega-6, stearidonic acid (SDA), and the rare omega-6 Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). What’s so great about GLA? Well, GLA has been shown to help with cholesterol, inflammation, skin and hair health, balancing hormones, and general heart health.

Plus if that wasn’t enough, hemp foods also contain magnesium, fibre, iron, zinc, and phosphorous.
