What is Hemp? Hemp is a plant that has been grown for thousands of years, cultivated in Asia and the Middle East before making its way to Europe and the Americas. The fibrous part of the stalk is used to make textiles, building materials, composite plastics, and paper. Its a sustainable plant that requires less water than conventional crops, doesnt deplete the soil, and typically requires few pesticides and no herbicides. The Hemp Seed Hearts harvested from the plant are excellent sources of protein, omega-3s, and omega-6 fats.
How is Hemp Protein Powder made? Hemp Protein Powder is made from whole hemp seed meal that has had the oil removed. The hemp seed oil is removed using a cold expeller press and the remaining meal is milled into protein powder.
Is Hemp safe to eat? Yes, absolutely! Eating Hemp Protein Powder will not cause a confirmed positive drug test. Though hemp and marijuana are from the same species of plant, their similarities stop there. Hemp has only trace amounts (less than 1.5 parts per million) of THC(the psychotropic compound found in marijuana) and will not result in psychological effects. Hemp consumption is safe, healthy, and legal.

Hi Sarah, we don't have any information on whether or not it helps with aches or pains.
I have shingles and I'm careful about the balance of arginine and lysine in aminos in protein powder. I don't tolerate pea protein as it's a legume. Will I be able to tolerate hemp protein ?
Hi Janet! For questions such as this, we recommend seeking advice from your doctor or nutritionist.
I have used protein powder for a long time. Usually a whey protein product. I would like to switch from the dairy based products to plant but cannot see the nutritional info in the picture of the bag you are displaying. Can you show me all of that information somehow?

Bob's Red Mill: Hemp Protein Powder
Our Hemp Protein Powder is appropriate for all ages. If you have questions about your child's diet specifically we recommend speaking with your pediatrician.
I've read that protein exposed to high temperatures, including soy and hemp protein, could produce carcinogens. Does the process of producing Bob's Red Mill Hemp Protein Powder---expose the product to high temps, e.g. is it exposed to ultra heat or heat/acid treatment?
Hi Lee, our Hemp Protein Powder is considered raw as it's only brought up to 28-38°C during processing.
If your hemp protein powder is gluten free, why doesn't it say gluten free on the package?
Hi Jacqui, our Hemp Protein Powder is inherently gluten free but it is processed in a facility that also processes wheat. Despite thorough and stringent cleaning standards there is always a possibility for cross contact.
I am currently using hemp seed for my morning smoothies. What would switching to hemp protein powder change in my smoothie other than texture? More nutrients or about the same?
The nutritional profile is pretty similar on the two products, however the powder will definitely change the texture of your smoothie. It's not bad by any means, but there will be a little more grittiness to it. It works really well with berries since there is already a texture to the smoothie with the berry seeds.
Because of the hemp in this product, does it help with aches and pains any?
