Hemp protein powder is one of the more popular varieties, made by grinding pressed hemp seeds into a fine powder. It has an earthy, nutty taste and is often added to shakes or smoothies to boost protein intake.
Hemp is rich in omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids that promote energy production and strengthen the immune system, as well as phytosterols which are cholesterol fighting compounds and contains easily digested proteins such as albumin and edestin.
