• Protein: Hemp contains 25% - 31 % protein, second only to soy (35%), but the protein in hemp foods is more easily digestible, because hemp contains globular proteins, albumin 33% and 65% edistin (a Greek word meaning edible), which have structures very similar to proteins made by the blood, which makes them readily digestible. What is unique about hemp seed protein is that 65% of it is globulin edistin. That is the highest in the plant kingdom. A handful of hemp seed provides the minimum daily requirement of protein for adults. No other food source provides complete protein in such an easily digestible form. No enzyme inhibitors like other plant-based proteins.
• Essential Amino Acids: Hemp foods contain all eight essential amino acids, Leucine, Lysine, Threoine, Phen+tyro, Valine, Meeth+cyst, Isoleucin, Tryptophan, with higher amounts of each than other main sources of protein, like egg whites, tofu, human milk, and whole cow's milk. Besides these 8 essential amino acids, hemp foods also provides the necessary types and amounts of amino acids the body needs to make serum albumin and serum globulins, two other amino acids essential to life. All of this makes hemp a complete source of protein.
• Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs): Hemp food is the highest source of easily digestible essential fatty acids in the plant kingdom - total essential fatty acids, at 80-81% of total oil volume. It provides the perfect ratio of Omega 6 (around 60%) to Omega 3 (20 %), a 3 to 1 ratio; the ratio recommended by health experts. Hemp is the only food item containing every EFA. EFAs are essential to tissue growth and help regulate many internal functions, which makes consuming them critical. Essential fatty acids are by definition, essential, because they can't be produced by the body, but must be obtained through diet, for proper growth and body functioning. EFAs help organ muscles to contract, regulate stomach acid, help lower blood pressure, help maintain body temperature, regulate hormone levels, and break up cholesterol, while aiding in fat transportation and metabolism.
• Chlorophyll: The deep green color of hemp foods comes from their high chlorophyll content, which is widely acknowledged as one of the most healing substances in nature; chlorophyll is incidentally also the main ingredient in the composition of wheat grass, another highly healing plant food.
