Hemp nuts are a completely natural product, produced by removing the outer shell of the Hemp seed, with no other processing or additives. The kernels are raw and free of agricultural chemicals and artificial additives.
Please note that Australia is one of the few countries in the world where hemp seed is not officially recognised as a human food. Food standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) are currently preparing regulations to amend this. In the meantime, to comply with local regulations, the seeds must be labelled "Not licensed for internal use within Australia" or "Pet food only"
Protein
Most other countries recognise that hemp nuts are a versatile food which can provide vital nutritional support for all ages from the very youngest to the elderly. Hemp nuts contain a complete range of amino acids and are an ideal source of protein for those on a vegetarian or vegan diet. They are low in carbohydrates and the low GI making them ideal for diabetics.
EFA's
The western diet is deficient in omega 3 fatty acids with an excess of omega 6. This imbalance causes inflammation and leads to an increase in degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular disease, arthritis and premature aging. Omega 3 fatty acids are the centre piece of Hemp Nutrition. Currently available sources of omega 3 such as fish oil are highly processed products stripped of vitamins and minerals essential for the effective utilisation of the oil. In addition fishing practices are placing serious burdens on the marine ecology and are unsustainable in the long term.
Hemp nuts contain an ideal ratio of 1:3 along with uniquely high levels of vitamin E which protects and preserves the delicate oil from oxidation. Further, unlike marine omega 3, hemp is free from dioxins, PCB's and other contaminants, making it ideal for pregnant women and children.
Outside of Australia Hemp nuts can be eaten straight from the packet or sprinkled over savoury or sweet dishes alike.Within Australia until the laws are changed only your pets can enjoy this most most delicious and nutritious food. Store in freezer or fridge to ensure optimal freshness and to preserve the delicate essential fatty acids.
