Hemp Powder Protein

Hemp is a variety of the plant Cannabis sativa L that has been harvested as a crop for the production of fiber and food for the past 12 000 years. However, hemp is falsely considered to be a drug similar to marijuana and so many countries have banned the farming of this incredible crop. Industrial hemp contains only .3% of tetrahydrocannibol (THC), the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, where as marijuana cultivated for drug purposes contains 3-15% or more THC. In fact, industrial hemp contains a high percentage of cannabidiol (CBD) which is known to block the effects of THC which makes industrial hemp "anti-marijuana". The lack of education and correct information on a versatile and importantly nutritious crop such as industrial hemp has prevented people from benefiting from the superior qualities of such crops. Nutiva, an innovative leader in the health food industry since 1999, has begun changing the face of such crops with products such as hemp oil, hemp bars, shelled hemp seeds, hemp powder protein, extra virgin coconut oil and many more.
