Why eat hemp?

🌱Protein  In every 30 g serving, about 3 tablespoons, there is about 10 g of protein. Hemp is a complete source of protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids.  Relatively few plant-based foods are complete proteins, making hemp hearts an important addition to any diet.

🌱Omega 3-6-9 Fatty Acids Hemp hearts are a great source of Essential Fatty Acids, essential because your body cannot make them. A 30g serving of hemp has about 10g of Omegas 3, 6 & 9. Omega fatty acids are important for skin health, heart health, brain health, and help in reducing inflammation.

🌱Fiber Hemp hearts are an excellent source of fiber. Consuming fiber ever day helps: control appetite, stabilize blood sugars, promote gut health, and aids in weight management.

🌱Vitamins and Minerals Hemp has an impressive array of vitamins and minerals. It is an EXCELLENT source of: vitamin E,magnesium, phosphorus & potassium. It is a very good source for: niacin, riboflavin, thiamine, vitamin B6 & folate.
