Hemp Grain = Super Food?
An excellent source of plant-based protein, hemp hearts are rich in iron, vitamin B6 and folate. Here are some stats on 3 tablespoons of 100% Pure Hulled Hemp Seed:
166 Calories
14.6g Fat
1.5mg Sodium
2.6g Carbohydrates
1.2g Fiber
0.5g Sugars
9.5g Protein
*According to Very Well Fit linked here: https://www.verywellfit.com/hemp-hearts-nutrition-facts-4585190
Hemp seeds are cold pressed to extract the oil (and most of the fats). The remaining hemp seed cake is milled to create a powder. The powder is then sifted to make hemp flour. The flour from the final sifting is high in fiber but lower in protein than the raw seeds.
