Hemp
This is pretty interesting: The Organization Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is currently looking at whether or not to legalize hemp as a food product in Australia and New Zealand. They have progressed as far as recognizing that eating hemp foods does not constitute a public health risk. We’re watching as this important movement unfolds, and we’ll keep you updated too! Viva la Hemp!
Enjoy.

ONCE you could smoke it, then you could wear it, now maybe you can eat it. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is seeking public comment on requested changes to the food code to allow hemp to be eaten. But it will not make you high. While industrial hemp belongs to the cannabis family, it is a distant cousin of the kind that produces marijuana.
Deemed to have no pyschoactive properties due to low levels of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), hemp is produced in Australia for fibre, food for pets and livestock, and oil for cosmetics, but to date the oil may not be used for human food.
FSANZ yesterday announced a period of public comment on two requests for changes to the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code including the hemp request, raised by Dr Andrew Katelaris.
Chief Executive Officer, Steve McCutcheon, said in a statement that FSANZ’s responsibility was to ensure that the use of hemp in food should be safe for consumers. [click to continue…]

One common question we hear from our customers is this: “What are the major differences between a Hemp Protein powder, and a Whey Protein Powder?”
Well, there are a lot of differences between whey protein and hemp protein, especially for vegans and athletes who don’t want to get their protein from dairy sources. Another huge benefit to hemp protein is the fiber content. Also, Nutiva’s Hemp Protein Powder is an organic whole food, which is always non-GMO, with complete proteins.

If you’re getting results with one sort of protein, why make the move to hemp and run the chance of reducing your workout results? There are lots of reasons to consider hemp protein as an alternative to whey protein. In reality, I would like to debate that moving to hemp protein is one of the finest things you can do for your overall health if you’re currently taking whey protein supplements. Hemp Protein Powder
Pros : You will need less : since there are no fillers and additives and it supplies the eight essential amino acids and trans-acids,you may need much less hemp protein than whey protein for equal benefit.

Hemp, like corn, requires nitrogen-rich soils. Chemical fertilizers are a much cheaper substitute than the natural way: rotation with a green, nitrogen-fixing crop. So be sure to look for certified-organic hemp food that supports the health of our planet.
Nutiva is committed to moving beyond unsustainable food-industry practices to support the long-term well-being of humanity as a whole.
We’ve put together a page to show you the differences between growing hemp the all-natural way, and growing hemp using toxic chemical fertilizers.

The benefits of Hemp Food products, including hemp oil, hemp protein powder, and shelled hempseed are just now starting to enter the mainstream, and many health-conscious people are stocking these products in their homes. What many people don’t know is that Industrial Hemp is a vital crop which has many important qualities and uses which we can’t take advantage of in the United States until we’re able to legalize hemp and begin to grow it here. Nutiva is committed to spreading the word about the values, uses, and benefits of the Hemp Crop, and one of the most important methods is education. We’ve put together this Hemp 101 page, and we also want to share this report with you. [click to continue…]
