In 2001, Charles Holmes and his father, Ken, who was harvesting wild rice with a group of Native Americans near Flin Flon, Manitoba, obtained a grant from the University of Saskatchewan Food Science Center to study improvements to the de-hulling processes for wild rice. The Center's scientists encouraged Charles and Ken to also consider hemp as a possible high protein food source. At the time, no other company was using hemp seed protein for consumer products. It was considered a waste product and was used only as animal feed. Ken and Charles learned that the hemp seed's balanced composition of essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, and high protein gave them the ideal foundation food source they were seeking. The problem was, how to mill it. Hemp seeds were difficult to process without damaging their sensitive essential fatty acids. "We knew the protein could be made into a viable food product, we just had to figure out how," says Ken. Working with a fellow millwright from Saskatchewan, Canada, he dedicated the next 18 months to engineering a specialized, proprietary milling machine. Their new vacuum friction mill processed the hemp seed at the low temperatures necessary to produce a whole, live food with enzymes and protein intact. In 2002, Ken and Charles established Living Harvest Conscious Nutrition, Inc., with the goal of creating hemp seed products that maintain the seed's essential nutrients. With the application of their new technology, Living Harvest yielded the world's first organic, live, protein powder made from 100% Certified Organic Hemp Seed. The result was a protein powder with an unusually high protein concentration, over 46%. This proprietary process is still considered unique in the industry. Today, Living Harvest employs technologies such as Ken's proprietary vacuum friction mill, vacuum food dryers, and cold mechanical presses in the creation of a full line of organic hemp food products. They work in close partnership with the most respected organic farmers and farmer coops across Canada. Living Harvest was also the only company in the industry to have an exclusively organic line of products from day one. They continue to be committed to the Holmes family founding mission--to be purveyors of the finest quality, highest-nutritive, best-tasting organic hemp seed foods available.
This review is from: Living Harvest Organic Hemp Protein Powder, Original Flavor, 16-Ounce Plastic ContainerThis definitely has to be mixed with something to make it tolerable, and I think it may take a few tries to get used to it. I mix it with protein shakes; the flavors of the protein shakes fortunately dominate vs. the taste of the hemp powder. It's a little weird drinking a concoction that looks green but tastes like banana, but the health benefits are worth it to me. It is gritty however. At first I tried it plain and had to basically choke it down, but I guess it's grown on me. Bottom line: if you're dedicated to finding a good vegan source of protein and other nutrition, it's worth a try to experiment with it by adding it to smoothies and other recipes....
This review is from: Living Harvest Organic Hemp Protein Powder, Original Flavor, 16-Ounce Plastic ContainerI recently switched to protein supplements in an attempt to build lean muscle. Whey protein worked well but left me feeling bloated. I stumbled across this product while looking for an alternative, and it is fantastic! No bloating, no bog down, leaves me feeling fantastic. The taste leaves something to be desired, but what can you expect? It's raw, organic, and has no additives whatsoever, so protein is all you get. Mix it with a bit of almond milk, almond butter, and a banana, and it's the best thing ever!...
This review is from: Living Harvest Organic Hemp Protein Powder, Original Flavor, 16-Ounce Plastic ContainerI like it in banana-yogurt based smoothies. Also makes a great smoothie with a cup of non-fat milk, 1T peanut butter, 1 frozen banana and a couple of ice cubes.I tried it mixed with a cranberry emergen-c pack and water. I don't recommend that unless you just need nutrition and don't care how it tastes. If I were going to go non-dairy, I'd probably go with vegetable juices, possibly apple cider. The hemp seed powder has a slightly nutty flavor that goes well with other nutty flavors, or pretty much disappears with a little vanilla....
