Hemp Seed & hexane warning

Post by Jedi_Sena »

I've been doing some more research lately on protein and aggression and I thought I'd share some information I found. Hemp protein is 66% edestin (a bio-active globulin protein that is easy to digest). That is more edestin than any other plant. It also contains 9 essential amino acids, and essential fatty acids. Try to find a source of hemp that is not processed with hexane (a harsh solvent) and of course, organic is always best if you can find it.

I've created a new mix featuring the source of hemp seed I've settled on using, but I'm wondering how much demand there would be for a single-ingredient packaging, so please feel free to post feedback on that. https://www.etsy.com/listing/274371304/ ... sana-wheat

Red palm oil may also be tainted by hexane or other solvents, so be sure you're checking the label!!!
