What is Hemp Protein?

Hemp protein is extracted from the shelled seeds of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa L., and is used in some protein supplements and protein-enriched foods.

Hemp protein refers to a dry hemp seed meal made by removing the outer shell of the hemp seed, expelling most of the oil through cold-pressing, and removing some of the fiber through milling and sifting. Hemp protein is usually lower in protein (35–50%) and higher in fat (about 10%, mostly essential fatty acids) and carbohydrate (20–35%, mostly fiber) than other protein supplements.
