Australian Organic Hemp Protein

About those amino acids ...
The difference between the protein in most plants and a ‘whole’ protein like steak is an amino acid called lysine. It’s a basic ingredient in your body’s protein and even treats cold sores. Hemp’s got it. As for hemp’s other amino acids, glutamic acid powers your nervous system, methonine makes your metabolism go and cysteine flushes toxic stuff out of your body. The amino acid arginine in hemp can reduce your risk of heart disease by giving your body nitric oxide. It’ll even settle down an inflammation marker known as C-reactive protein. If you’ve had a heart attack, it helps recovery. Stearidonic acid and gamma-linolenic acid (a form of Omega-6) have the benefits of fish. SDA can reduce inflammation. Gamma linolenic acid may turn out to help with eczema and arthritis, and probably treats nerve damage from diabetes. We may be 85% water but we’re also made of meat, and the most important difference between your meat and a plant is amino acids. So it makes sense that if you’re exercising regularly, or enjoying the hormone miracle that is lifting weights, you want a protein that will replace the fatty and amino acids in the muscles you just tore up. Hemp got you. So that’s all blow-your-top exciting, but it gets better. Hemp uses very little water. And sativa, the plant that drops all those hemp seeds? It’s one of the fastest growing in nature. So that’s the health side. Now we really have to get into the protein of this info, the most important question …Does it taste okay?
Like so much good food these days, it’s delicious. Hemp has an earthy, starchy taste. Think about the satisfying flavour of nuts high in protein and good fats, like almonds or walnuts. Also, hemp seeds are technically nuts. This gives us nothing but potential. Savoury meals are totally possible, but with a staple that people have been using for at least 10,000 years, we must have all different flavours of hemp, right? Exactly. Last time I had hemp seeds was in chocolate. It had a toasted flavour, everything good about coffee without the bad stuff. It had the charm of puffed wild rice and was easy on the teeth. But I may be biased. I was in Amsterdam. The point is, hemp can do anything, and the steak of the trees is here at last. Peter Matthews is a freelance writer living in Melbourne.
