Joy – this is for you… page 191… One of the best sources of plant protein and fat is found in Hempseed. It is a pure, raw source of complete protein. Packed with 33 to 37 percent digestible protein – raw hempseed completely in tact is one of nature’s riches sources of protein out there – Only algae such as spirulina, AFA blue-green algae and marine phytoplankton exceed hemp in protein.The challenge we face is that “high-protein” animal foods are becoming more and more difficult to obtain. Factory farmed beef, chicken, and fish are lower in protein and higher in fat and toxins…

Hemp is one of the very few plants that contains significant amounts of omega-6 and omega-3.
