Issue 9 — December 2004
For those of you who would like to surprise your friends and loved ones this holiday season, try making our delicious Hemp Nog or Italian Hemp Salad Dressing. Thanks to the many Nutiva fans who voted for us in Fast Company's Fast 50 contest. We should hear by March 05 if Nutiva is one of the winners. We just crushed the first harvest of our 2004 Canadian certified-organic hempseed crop. The flavor of the hemp oil is awesome! Look for our 8oz, 12oz and 32oz organic hemp oil dated December 04 or later and taste it for yourself. Want a last minute eco-groovy gift? Consider leaving a Nutiva hemp or coconut treat under the old yule tree. Here's wishing you and your loved ones a happy and healthy new year! In health, John W. Roulac PS: Will

Nutiva's
Shelled Hempseed Now Available Certified Organic Nutiva is now offering certified-organic shelled hempseed in a 10oz stand-up pouch. As you probably know, hempseeds are quite tasty and rich in protein, Omega-3, GLA, and vitamin E. Looking for a great holiday hemp food recipe? Look no further. Just try December's Recipe of the Month - Hemp Nog! Make sure to read how vitamin E-rich seeds are helping men who have prostate cancer. The hempseed in our current 10oz seed pouch is grown without pesticides and will continue to be sold. Because Nutiva can't grow hemp in the United States, we must reply on Canadian farmers to produce our hemp crops. Shortages of organic seeds often occur due to weather or surging sales outstripping supply. So please ask your retailer to carry our new certified organic 10 oz pouch. We hope to offer organic hempseed in bulk in 2006. Learn more about Nutiva's products here. 1%
