What are Hemp Seeds?

Hemp seeds are the edible part of the Cannabis Sativa L plant. They are a tiny fruit-like nut covered by a hard shell and part of the “achene” family (similar to sunflower seeds.) Hemp seeds can be pressed for oil, milled into a protein powder or hulled for their delicious nut. Hemp seeds have been cultivated as a food for centuries, from China to Europe to Africa.

Is Hemp the same as marijuana?

No. While Hemp and marijuana are both varieties of Cannabis Sativa L, Hemp is grown for food and fiber, and contains only trace amounts of THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), the psycho-active component of marijuana. Hemp foods are legal and safe to consume without any chance of getting high or urine testing positive for THC. As a comparison: hemp seed foods have less THC than there is arsenic in wine and less THC than mercury in your drinking water.

Will I fail a drug test if I consume Hemp food products?

No. Even though it is possible, you would have to consume several liters of the hemp oil in a month, in order to fail a drug test. We guarantee that there is 0.00% THC in our hemp foods. All Hemp harvested for food products are bred with low THC content, and what we use is monitored by the Government of Canada.

Why should I eat Hemp foods?

Hemp seeds are one of the plant kingdom’s most concentrated, complete and balanced sources of all 10 Essential Amino Acids (EAA’s) and Omega-3 and Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s). That is why we call them a Foundation Food. Our bodies need these essentials for life. Hemp seeds are also high in important nutrients including chlorophyll, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, phytosterols, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, calcium, fiber, histidine, iron, potassium, phosphorus, riboflavin, niacin and thiamin and live enyzmes.

What do hemp seeds taste like and how can I use / eat them?

Hemp seeds have a delicious, rich, nutty sunflower flavor that can easily be incorporated into your daily meals. Sprinkle Hemp Nuts on salads, yogurt or eat them straight from the container. Drizzle Hemp Oil on steamed vegetables, make a dressing with it, use it in a marinade, as a dipping oil with bread, or add it a smoothie. Start your morning with a smoothie that has hemp protein powder and even add it and oil and nut into low-temperature baking recipes for added nutrition.

What are Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)?

Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins. Dietary protein is needed in order to supply amino acids for our body’s growth and maintenance. Ten out of twenty amino acids are considered essential and the body does not make them. We need to get these Essential Amino Acids from the food chain. Hemp Seeds contain all 10 Essential Amino Acids and high levels of branched-chain amino acids, important for the development of lean body mass, as well as muscular repair. Hemp seeds have significant levels of Arginine, Histidine, Methionine and Cysteine, all of which are needed for vital enzyme production. Arginine and Histidine are also necessary for children’s growth.

Tell me about the type and quality of the protein in Hemp Seeds?

Hemp seed nut contains 33% pure digestible protein, providing readily available amino acids for building and repairing tissue. Hemp seed protein is comprised of 65% high-quality edestin protein, the most potent protein of any plant source, 35% albumin protein and also contains glutamic acid. The globulin edestin in hemp seed closely resembles the globulin in blood plasma, and is compatible with the human digestive system. It is vital to the maintenance of a healthy immune system and is also used to manufacture antibodies. Albumin is a protein manufactured by the liver that is supportive of liver and kidney health. Hemp seed nut is a unique protein that surpasses the quality and quantity of any other food source available.

How does Hemp Protein compare to Soy Protein?

a) Hemp Protein is easily digested as it does not have enzyme inhibitors like grains, nuts and legumes. Soy protein contains high levels of enzyme inhibitors blocking the uptake of trypsin and other enzymes that the body uses for protein digestion. Eating a diet high in enzyme inhibitors, such as those contained in the foods mentioned, can result in chronic amino acid and protein deficiencies. Soy protein contains oligosaccharides which cause flatulence and stomach distress.
b) Hemp Protein does not have phytates. Soy protein contains phytates which can interfere with the proper assimilation of essential minerals.
c) Hemp Seed allergies are uncommon. Soy allergies are very common.
d) Hemp Protein is organic, raw and cold processed without chemicals or solvents. Most Soy protein powders are heavily processed, usually with hexane or other chemical washes. Isolated soy protein is a source of protein but it is highly refined, de-natured and a “non-living” material. There are also valid concerns about GMO contaminated soy crops.

What are Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)?

The major component of fats is short chain molecules know as fatty acids. The two fatty acids that the body does not make are called Omega-3 Linolenic Acid and Omega-6 Linoleic Acid. We need to get these fats from the food chain, which is why they are termed Essential. EFAs are utilized by many of the body's systems to maintain proper tissue function. EFAs are required for energy production, proper functioning of the nervous system, brain development and function, skin health and elasticity, digestive efficiency, normal cardiovascular function, hormone production, and efficient immune response. Due to the popular misconception that fat is “bad” for the body, many people have adopted a low or no fat diet. Coupled with the widespread consumption of processed and genetically modified foods, many people are showing signs of EFA deficiency. Leading researchers are finding a significant link between diseases affecting the nervous system and EFA oil deficiency. Supplementation of EFAs is becoming an integral part of complementary medical protocols.

What about the quality of the fats in Hemp Seeds?

Compared with most nuts and seeds, the 46.5% fat content of shelled Hemp seed is relatively low and is a good source of the natural phytosterols (400mg / 100ml) that help manage/balance cholesterol levels. Hemp seed oil has, on average, the highest polyunsaturated fat content of any plant oil (80%) and a highly favorable unsaturated-to-saturated fat ratio. Hemp seeds offer a well-balanced ratio of 1:3.75 of Omega-3 to Omega-6 EFAs, as well as being one of the few plant sources of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). (See above for more on EFAs). GLA is an Omega 6 metabolite. Studies have shown that GLA improves memory and overall mental health, as well as reducing symptoms of skin ailments like eczema, heart health and even fibrocystic disease. Hemp also has steriodonic acid, it and GLA are known as “super omegas” which are the raw material precursors to DHA and EPA hormone production rendering the need for potentially toxic fish oils unnecessary.

Don’t we need more Omega-3’s than Omega-6’s in our diet? Hemp is higher in Omega-6’s.

The typical modern diet, heavy in soy and corn oils is often lacking in EFAs, particularly Omega-3’s. However, the debate revolves around what is the correct amount of Omega-3’s our bodies need. Experts in the field suggest that the EFA ratio found in Hemp seeds and Hemp Oil are in proportions most suitable for long term use (almost a 1:4 ratio of Omega-3’s to Omega-6’s). Experts agree that hemp seed oil can be used over the long term to maintain a healthy EFA balance without leading to EFA imbalances or deficiencies.

How does Hemp Oil compare with Flax oils as an EFA source?

Experts also agree that Hemp Seed Oil is a better balanced oil for long term use as it is considered to be a more stable oil, than Flax and a tastier oil that can be used in a variety of recipes from salad dressings to baked goods. Hemp Oil also contains GLA, phytosterols, and anti-oxidants like vitamin E complex, protein and trace minerals not found in Flax.

How should I store my Hemp Protein, Hemp Oil, and Hemp Nuts?

Once our products are opened, we recommend that they be stored in the refrigerator. Prior to opening, a cool cupboard is sufficient for storage.

Can I cook with hemp seed foods?

Once food is heated above 104 degrees, enzymes begin to be destroyed. To receive all the nutritional benefits of Hemp seed foods, we recommend that they not be heated. It is not recommended to fry foods with Hemp Oil. See the book Conscious Kitchen by Wind Walrath for recipe ideas.

Why Affiliate Marketing?

Typical distribution of products operates on several levels: suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers, brokers, distributors, retailers and consumers... multiple levels of marketing and middle men. A large portion of the cost of a product that finally gets to you, through the typical supply chain, comes from the overhead and marketing expenses between the wholesaler and consumer. A can of soda-pop really only costs a few cents. Direct Sales is a more efficient marketing model. It is simply producing a product and directly selling it to someone. However, by offering a referral commission profit sharing program, we create the most efficient business model possible. Most consumers in North America use at least one product or service marketed in this streamlined way.


One of the difficulties in the mainstream market is competition and trying to educate customers about a product. A company may have the finest product in the world, but if they are unable to influence spending dollars their way by purchasing shelf space and offering discounts, the product just sits there or doesn’t get placed on the shelf. It is a model does not optimally support the education of ... and value received by the consumer.

It is common knowledge that the best way to market something is by word of mouth. Networking and Direct sales initiatives take that huge percentage of cost between wholesale and retail, streamline the efforts of a few people, and share the money with those who refer the product to others. The industry has the reputation of developing and making available cutting-edge and high quality products which are usually years in advance of the retail market.

Some people get involved because all they want to do is purchase these high quality products at wholesale and get one-on-one education from the person who introduced them and/or the company. For others, their involvement is desire to belong to a positive successful group of people who cooperate to make a difference. For some their involvement is the satisfaction of having their own home-based business with the real possibility of financial freedom leading to 'more options'... prosperity and a higher quality lifestyle.

We believe Conscious Planet Pay it Forward Plan has successfully bridged mainstream business and the best of affiliate marketing with cooperative focused effort, community support and education, and the unique opportunity to purchase from other affiliated product and service providers.

Industrial Hemp Oveview:

Hemp is regarded as an herb and considered to be one of nature’s most economically viable and versatile crops. When compared, hemp seed is a nutritional powerhouse and clearly stands alone as the most significant nutritional and sustainable food source for humans. Hemp seed is the plant kingdoms most concentrated, complete and balanced source of the ‘Essentials’; the elements the human body does not produce and must obtain from the food we eat. Hemp seed is gluten free and contains:

● all ten Essential Amino Acids, including the two most important for children’s growth. It is comprised of 65% high quality globulin Edestin protein, (known as the perfect alkaline forming complete protein for humans) of any plant source. The structure of Edestin protein closely resembles and is compatible with our own blood plasma and digestive system. Hemp seed does NOT contain enzyme inhibitors that block protein digestion, such as those found in legumes (soybeans), grains (wheat) and nuts that cause food intolerances or allergies.

● an excellent balanced 1:3 ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 Essential Fatty Acids (EFA), same as that recomeneded by the Officials with the World Health Organization. These EFAs are the foundation of every cell membrane in the body. Hemp seed is 80% concentrated EFA's, more than any other food source on Earth! and has naturally occurring GLA, steriodonic acid & vitamin E, which give it the ideal raw material ingredients for human production of DHA and EPA, rendering the need for fish oils unnecessary. Exclusive, long-term use of oils with unbalanced EFA ratios such as Flax, have been shown to lead to prostate cancer, irregular heartbeat, eczema and deterioration of immune function. The body requires approximately 1 tablespoon of good fats per 50 lbs of body weight per day as maintenance!

● is also a rich source of chlorophyll, vitamin B1, B3, B6, B12, C, D, E, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, phyto-sterols, calcium, fiber, iron, potassium, phosphorus and lignin... truly a “super” food for humans!

Hemp has been used for thousands of years and has thousands of recorded uses! Prior to 1880, hemp was the largest domesticated crop in the world. Every part of the plant is used: fiber, leaf & seed. 1 acre of hemp is equal to 4 acres of trees for pulpwood! Long-confused with its controversial cousin, the marijuana plant, industrial hemp was once banned and is now recognized again as a legal and valuable food & fiber crop. There is less THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana) found in hemp seed foods than there is arsenic in red wine or mercury in your city drinking water. Many cultures have embraced the hemp plant as sacred. We believe it is time everyone did once more.
