Made by grinding the hemp plant seeds, hemp protein powder has an earthy and nutty taste that works well in most recipes. Depending on the type of hemp protein you purchase, the protein may be kept in its whole state or defatted to isolate the protein into a concentrated form. Whole hemp protein powder is one in which all essential fatty acids remain intact. While it has a higher fat content than concentrated hemp powder, it contains more heart healthy and anti inflammatory properties.
In addition to healthy fatty acids, hemp protein powder contains all 20 amino acids, including the nine essential amino acids the body cannot produce independently. It is also an excellent source of fiber and offers many vital vitamins and minerals.
