What is Organic Hemp Protein Powder?
Organic Hemp Protein Powder is derived from cold-pressed Cannabis sativa seeds grown on certified organic farms. Available in three high-purity grades:
- 70% Protein: Balanced nutrition with fiber
- 75% Protein: Enhanced protein focus
- 80% Protein: Ultra-refined isolate
All grades deliver complete protein (all 9 EAAs), omega 3:6 fatty acids (3:1 ratio), and minerals without hexane/solvents.

FAQs
Q: What is the primary difference in application suitability between your 70%, 75%, and 80% Organic Hemp Protein Powders?
A: The 70% is a great all-rounder, offering good fiber. The 75% provides a higher protein content with less fiber. The 80% is our most concentrated variant, with significantly less fiber and fat, making it ideal for applications requiring the highest protein percentage and best solubility, such as high-protein shakes or supplements where a smoother texture is crucial.
Q: Is your Organic Hemp Protein Powder a complete protein?
A: Yes, Organic Hemp Protein Powder is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids necessary for human health.
Q: How does the cold-pressing process benefit your hemp protein?
A: Cold-pressing is a gentle, mechanical process that avoids high heat and chemical solvents. This preserves the delicate nutrients, including proteins, essential fatty acids, and fiber, ensuring a clean and natural product.
Q: Is the 80% Organic Hemp Protein Powder considered a “hemp isolate”?
A: While highly concentrated, the 80% product is considered a high-purity hemp protein concentrate rather than a true “isolate,” as it still retains trace amounts of fiber and fat, inherent to its natural extraction method, distinguishing it from highly processed isolates from other protein sources.
Q: What is the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Hemp Protein Powders typically have a shelf life of 18-24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (below 75°F/24°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture, in their original sealed, airtight packaging. Specific bulk storage recommendations will be provided with your order documentation.
Q: Does your Organic Hemp Protein Powder contain THC or CBD?
A: Our Organic Hemp Protein Powder is derived from Cannabis sativa L. varieties specifically cultivated for their nutritional seeds, containing negligible to no THC or CBD. We provide certificates of analysis to confirm that THC levels are below detectable limits or comply with relevant legal thresholds, ensuring product safety and legality.
