There are over 3 million edible plants on our planet, and no other single plant source can compare with the nutritional value of organic hemp seeds. Both the complete protein and the essential oils contained in hemp seeds are in ideal ratios for human nutrition. 65% of the protein content is in the form of globulin edestin so that it can actually be used by the body in its raw state, unlike that of soya beans, which have to be cooked or sprouted, which is why our raw organic hemp seeds are so well suited to raw food diets.
