Hemp protein for Vegan, Vegetarian & Raw diets

Our Natural Hemp Protein is approved by the Vegetarian Society & Vegan Society.

Protein in the Vegan, Vegetarian & Raw Diets

Protein is an essential nutrient, which plays many roles in the functioning of our bodies including building and repairing new cells and muscle tissue.

For Vegans and vegetarians, often the problem of where they obtain adequate amounts of protein for is brought up, as their diets do not include the more obvious forms of protein such as meat, milk and eggs. The vegan or total vegetarian diet includes only foods from plants: fruits, vegetables, legumes (dried beans and peas), grains, seeds and nuts. A Vegan diet does not necessarily mean a diet lacking in Protein, as there are many plant-based sources of protein available. Most ‘complete’ proteins are derived from animals, so Hemp Protein is an ideal way to ensure a Vegan or Vegetarian diet contains enough easily digestible protein to support an active lifestyle.

Contains all 10 Essential Amino Acids

Hemp protein is the only plant protein which has a similar nutritional profile to milk, meat and eggs, as it contains 20 amino acids including all 10 essential amino acids.

Easy to digest Protein

It is also very easy to digest unlike some other plant proteins such as Soya, which can sometimes cause bloating. Hemp Protein also, unlike Soya, does not contain Phytic Acid, which can block the absorption of other nutrients.

A Protein naturally rich in Omega 3

The Essential Fatty Acid Omega 3 is an important nutrient which can be diffcult to obtain in a Vegan or Vegetarian diet. Unlike most other plant proteins, HEMP Protein Powder is naturally rich in Essential Fatty Acids such as Omega 3. It contains SDA, a potent form of Omega 3 that is usually only found in fish oil. SDA is easily absorbed by the body and converted into the longer chain fatty acids DHA and EPA. For more information about Vegan & Vegetarian Omega 3 please visit VeggieOmega3.co.uk

Suitable for Raw Food Diets

HEMP Protein Natural is made in the UK from Cold Pressed Hemp Seeds. We then Cold Mill the flour – no heat is ever used the process -  so our Natural Hemp Protein is suitable for Raw Food Diets.

Great for the Environment

Hemp is one of the most sustainable plants on earth as it is excellent at carbon sequestration. Our field of hemp in the UK locks up to four times as much carbon as an equivalent sized field of trees. Hemp also has incredible insulation capabilities. The fibre from our hemp goes towards producing sustainable building materials which built 250 social houses in Britain in 2010.
