Whats so good about Hemp Protein?

Hemp Seed Protein is consumed for its health benefits and nutritional characteristics. Including its protein content, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Its complete amino acid profile makes this plant based protein a popular raw protein choice for many.

Bulk hemp protein powder is a versatile ingredient in a range of food products. As a functional food ingredient with a wide range of valuable nutritional benefits, it is used commonly in baked goods such as breads, muffins, and protein bars. It can be used as a nutritional supplement in smoothies, yoghurt or added to breakfast cereals. It can be used as a partial or full flour replacement, including for sauces and soups. It can be added to any meal to boost nutrition.

Why is NZ hemp seed protein powder the best option?

Midlands is one of the founding hemp production companies and hemp protein manufacturers in New Zealand. With no additives or preservatives, our raw hemp protein is as pristine as the environment we grow it in. Our powerful sunlight and clean air mean our New Zealand grown hemp works hard to develop a barrier from the sun, meaning they build up higher levels of antioxidants and polyphenolic compounds.

Where does hemp protein come from?

Hemp protein is made from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. These hemp seeds are harvested at maturity and then transported to our oil extraction facility. The whole hemp seed is cold pressed, crushed to extract the oil. The leftover cake is then finely milled into a protein.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Is hemp protein powder better than whey?

That depends on why you want to consume more protein. Some of the key differences are the source, the amount of processing and the absorption of protein.

Hemp protein is minimally processed, and hemp protein is plant-based. Why on the other hand is animal-based, derived from dairy products, and is highly processed.

Although whey typically has more protein, protein is more easily absorbed from foods or minimally process protein. There are a few wholefood proteins, which avoid using high temperatures and artificial ingredients or extraction methods, including our cold pressed, raw hemp protein.
