Hemp Protein has the Most Globular Protein in the Plant World and Hemp Milk is a Great Alternative to Soy Milk.
Hemp uses include more than just hemp milk. Hemp protein powder can also be a great replacement for soy protein powders if you are following a Vegan or Vegetarian Diet.
Hemp is an abundant source of globular protein which are involved with the most important life functions that go on inside your body.
Hemp Seeds and Globular Protein
What is unique and powerful about hemp seed protein is that 65% of hemp seed is in the form of Globulin Edestin.
Edestin's are plant protein globulins and globulins are one of the most important and abundant proteins found in your body.
There is another important protein found in hemp which is called albumin.
Globulins along with albumins are classified as globular proteins.
What makes globular protein so important is that they are the precursors to some of the most vital chemicals responsible for the very life of your body.
These proteins serve such functions as becoming enzymes, hormones, and hemoglobin. You could say they are responsible for the main work of living.
These proteins are also responsible for both the natural and acquired immunity a person has against invading organisms.
Your body uses globular protein to make antibodies which attack infecting agents and they also neutralize alien microorganisms and toxins.
Although your body can make this type of protein out of any protein that you consume, it is much easier for your body to make this important protein out of globular starting protein.
It just makes sense to eat foods that contain a good amount of proteins that are easier for our human bodies to utilize and assemble into these life giving proteins.
Your body's ability to fight off sickness and to recover from an illness can depend on the right amount of globular forming proteins that you consume.
Hemp Uses as Food
Hemp uses are numerous as the seeds of the hemp plant can be eaten raw, ground into a meal or protein powder, sprouted, made into a milk, prepared as a tea, turned into hemp flour for baking, and made into an oil for mayonnaise or salad dressings.
Hemp Protein Powder
Hemp protein powder is produced by using a cold-pressed technique. This seems to be the standard, but make sure it says this on the label.
Cold-processing techniques ensures valuable vitamins and minerals are still available for your body to obtain and use.
The benefits of
Hemp Seed Protein
include having a wide array of amino acids along with being a complete protein.
This makes it a far superior vegan or vegetarian protein powder since many soy protein powders are often processed with hexane.
Hexane is a petroleum solvent that has adverse effects on our environment as well as having a very bad effect on your body.
How to Make Hemp Milk
The basics for making hemp milk:
Measure about 1 Part shelled hemp seeds to 3-5 Parts water (thickness will vary on amount of water used)
Blend for approx. 2 minutes
Strain pulp with cheese cloth or nut bag (optional)
Put into a glass jar with lid and put into your refrigerator (keeps for approx. 3 days)
You can add your favorite sweetener, salt, vanilla, or super foods to kick up this milk
Agave syrup is really not a low glycemic sweetener and I would use this one very sparingly or not at all
