Hemp Seed Protein and
The Benefits of Hemp

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.

Hemp Benefits and Your Health

• Hemp protein contains all 21 known amino acids including the 8 essential ones your body cannot produce on its own
• Hemp does not contain any phytic acid or enzyme inhibitors which soy protein contains
• Much easier to digest than soy protein
• Hemp seed allergies have never been reported
• Hemp seed does not require chemicals or genetic alterations in order to be grown
• Hemp protein is gluten free
• Whole hemp seeds contain about as much protein as animal products such as cheese and chicken
• Good Source of fiber, vitamin E, thiamin, folic acid, niacin, magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, and iron

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.
