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.
