Hemp Seed Protein and
The Benefits of Hemp

Hemp seed protein contains all of the Essential Amino Acids and hemp benefits include having the most edible and usable protein in the plant world.

The benefits of hemp also include being a non-allergenic food and hemp is also gluten free.

Hemp benefits definitely outweigh the benefits of consuming a highly allergenic food like soy.

I think hemp seeds can be an important and maybe even necessary addition to a vegan diet - especially a raw vegan diet.

Not only does it supply necessary amino acids, but essential fatty acids like omega 6's and omega 3's and in a pretty good ratio.

It does appear to be a lot safer than any soy protein and I would definitely use hemp milk instead of soy milk.

It's also a very versatile protein and can be used in a shake, smoothie, or you can even make dehydrated foods using this seed.
