Would you like to be confident that your diet is providing you and your family with all the essential nutrients needed to live active and disease free lives?

Would you like to be certain that the food you eat is produced in a chemical-free and sustainable manner, without genetic modification or chemical residue?

Would you like to be assured you are doing what’s best for the planet as well as for all members of the family, young and old?

Hemp seed can do all this - one of Nature’s unique super foods, packed with nutrition including the essential fatty acid omega 3 and easily digested protein balanced with high levels of essential vitamins and minerals.

FOOD FOR HEALTH

Australia is the only country in the world where Hemp seed is not officially recognised as a human food, although they are recognised as a beneficial ingredient in beauty and skin care products. Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) are currently preparing regulations to amend this. In the meantime, to comply with local regulations, the seeds must be labelled “not licensed for internal use“.

HEMP KERNELS

DID YOU KNOW?  Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is one of humanity’s oldest cultivated plants, used by many different races for over 12,000 years as a source of fibre, food and medicine.  Hemp can be grown without herbicides or pesticides.  It is a hardy, self-mulching plant which aerates and improves the soil on which it is grown.  Experiments in Australia and elsewhere have shown up to a 25% increase in yield for following crops grown on Hemp conditioned soil.  In addition, each hectare of Hemp will absorb over 20 tons of carbon dioxide annually.  

Hemp kernels are a completely natural product, produced by removing the outer shell of the Hemp seed, with no other processing or additives.  The kernels are raw and free of agricultural chemicals and artificial additives.  

WHY EAT HEMP KERNELS? Many modern diseases are caused by nutritional deficiencies due to the industrialisation of our food supply.  To gain greater shelf life for their products manufacturers chemically alter and adulterate foods, with no regard for the consequences to health.  The western diet is deficient in omega 3 with an excess of omega 6.  This imbalance causes inflammation and leads to an increase in degenerative diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, arthritis and premature aging.   Omega 3 essential fatty acid is the centre-piece of Hemp nutrition.  Currently available sources of omega 3 such as fish oil are highly manufactured products stripped of the vitamins and minerals essential for the proper utilisation of the oil.  In addition, current fishing practices are placing serious burdens on the marine ecology and are unsustainable in the long term.  Hemp seed contains both omega 3 and omega 6, in an ideal ratio of 1:3 along with uniquely high levels of vitamin E, which protects and preserves the delicate oil from oxidation.  Further, unlike marine omega 3, Hemp is free from dioxins, PCB and other contaminants, making it an ideal choice for pregnant women and children.
