HEMP AS FOOD
Australian Hemp Seeds are used to make all the Hemp Foods we sell.
.
Whole Australian Grown Hemp Seeds are cold pressed and strained to create our healthy and versatile HEMP SEED OIL.
.
The "Hemp Cake" that is left from pressing is milled and refined into our HEMP PROTEIN.
.
Our HEMP SEEDS are processed in special "De-Hulling" machinery to take off the crunchy outside shell of the seeds. This not only makes them legal to sell, but also easier to digest!
.
We are very excited to see what the future holds for the Australian Hemp Industry and thank all our customers for helping us to support Aussie Farmers.
