Hemp seeds

In the Ecoaerobic Lifestyle we develop our sense of what foods to eat according to the purest forms of Fats, Proteins, Carbohydrates, Salts and Water. Pure organic readily bioavailable proteins we obtain in large through the use of eating and drinking blended hemp seeds. We consider Hemp seed as one of most important staple Super foods.

Hemp is one of the foods we consider as an extremely strong genetic food and unhybridized unlike many of the foods, especially grains, which are found in the commercial grocery market. Hemp is an ancient food and incredibly versatile in its use. Documented use of Hemp dates back to the 28^th century BC. Hemp grows well in American climate. The leader in Hemp growth and production is taking place currently in Canada. A huge plus we have found concerning the Hemp seed is that since it is naturally resistant to bugs and insects their typically is no herbicides or pesticides used in the growing of this plant making it simple to grow organically. If you are taking it upon yourself to source hemp seed we recommend always trying to buy organic. Since Hemps recent comeback and growth in popularity we have found many companies are mass producing hemp which has been slightly genetically modified for industrial reasons, thus they still harvest and package the hemp seed as a cheap nutritional product from their grow. This allowed us to develop the initiative of making sure we bring the purest organic hemp seeds available on the market.

Once Hemp seeds are harvested they are cleaned and should be extracted from their shell with light pressure and no heat. When there is no sterilization, radiation or heat a pure very important product is made available in the form of not only hemp seed, but also hemp seed oil and hemp seed protein powder. Hemp seed oil is pressed from thew hemp seed with low temperatures and no light thus creating a very healthy polyunsaturated fat for your body. Hemp seed oil acts as a far superior oil to everything accept Coconut oil. Hemp seed oil is around 80 % polyunsaturated fat. It contains a completely balanced ratio of all essential linolenic omega 6 and alpah linolenic omega 3 fatty acids. Essential fatty acids cannot be produced by the physical body therefor they must be obtained from outside food sources. Hemp seed and Hemp seed oil also furnishes our body with naturally occurring gamma linolenic acids which are converted from omega 6 fatty acids. No other form of essential fatty acid rich foods contain such a perfect balance of omega fats.

One Tablespoon of Hemp seed contains around 11 grams of linolenic acid and 3 grams of alpha linolenic acid while packing a punch of 4 grams worth of bioavailable protien. While hemp seed is around 30 percent oil it is 25 % protein containing all 8 essential amino acids. The protein in the Hemp seed we use is unheated full of enzymes and readily available for optimal digestion and assimilation into the body.

Hemp seed is quite a tasty little food while being packed with so much nutrition. We find the taste slightly nutty and neutral. The taste is quite unique yet not over powering or dominant in recipes. I find myself sprinkling it on top of everything I eat even if hemp seeds are in the recipe. Our most potent prescribed method of Hemp seed intake is through the Ecoaerobic Super food smoothie. Many people ask us if hemp seeds will get them high or if it is marijuana. The answer is NO. Lets plain jane it for you, if hemp seeds contained the active ingredient THC which is found in Marijuana the hemp seed would definitely not be sold in health food stores across the nation.
