As a food ingredient it is inferior, because of the aforementioned reasons" The conventional way to process the oil from involves chemical solvents and raising the temperature of the seeds being processed as this increases the percentage of oil that is removed. Mighty trio does what is called cold pressing of the hemp seeds to extract the oil. The total yield of oil with this method is decreased but the quality is higher and no chemical solvents are used. This also leaves more of the oil in the hemp powder. Because the processing is done below 120 degrees F the natural enzymes in the seeds are still present in the powder and most or all of the nutrients in the seeds are still present and viable in the hemp powder. I hope this helps clarify. “Because it has been subjected to the heat, light, and oxygen from oil extraction, it can be very unstable and prone to spoilage.

We will not be in the Strathcona Farmers Market until further notice. The good news is that you can find our oils at Planet Organic, both North and South Locations, and, if you have an order over $65.00, we would be happy to deliver to your door if you live in Edmonton. Thanks again! Emily Hello Vickie,

I recommend something similar to all my friends! Nothing beats my hemp in the morning for keeping me going all day. Though I wouldn't recommend 3 tablespoons of oil in a smoothie. 42g of fat is a bit of an overkill. That would be the majority of most peoples entire fat intake for the day. Nice to see you at the Old Strathcona farmer's market. I know where I'll be picking up my next batch of hemp ;) Excellent breakfast smoothie recipe. I recommend something similar to all my friends!

It is important, as your quote also states, to be clear about what you want. Our hemp powder is: 10% oil (the same oils contained in hemp seeds), 37% protein (the same essential amino acids) and 36% dietary fibers (soluble and insoluble) it also contains calcium (106mg/100g), iron (11mg/100g), sodium (78mg/100g) and potassium (980mg/100g) This product is a great source of protein, soluble and insoluble fibers and Essential Fatty Acids. Our focus is to perform the least amount of processing on our products to retain their valuable nutrients and it is important to note that any and all products containing Essential Fatty Acids are prone to spoilage if not handled correctly. If you don't mind the texture that it gives your food or that it "darkens" foods then you may, as we do, really enjoy this product. For many people it lets them obtain their daily fiber, EFA and protein requirements all in one product. You may notice a smoothie with 4 Tbsp. of the Hemp Powder in the morning will help you feel energized, alert and satiated until the afternoon. Thanks again Heather!

I came across the following information and would like to hear your response to it. First you must be clear about what you want. Often what is called hemp meal is actually de-fatted hemp presscake, the by-product of making hempseed oil. It has about 80 percent of the oil (and essential fatty acids) removed, hence the “de-fatted” nomenclature. It is sometimes also called hemp flour or presscake. It’s a good animal feed, higher in protein. Because it has been subjected to the heat, light, and oxygen from oil extraction, it can be very unstable and prone to spoilage. As a food ingredient it is inferior, because of the aforementioned reasons but also because it darkens and makes the food gritty. Better for foods are hempseed oil and/or shelled hempseed.
