Is Hemp Seed 50 gritty or smooth like the 70? Thanks

I find it smooth. Sometimes I have little lumps of the wetted powder in my glass (stir with a spoon, not a blender) and find them smooth. It does have a unique taste. It may take a bit to get use to, but I now find it yummy.

It seems to be slightly coarse, but I followed the directions with a tiny increase in water to adjust for altitude and it is the smoothest creamiest grit I have had since I left Texas 21 years ago.

From Nutiva's website : "Cultivated for thousands of years throughout Asia and the Middle East before finally making its way to Europe and then the Americas, hemp is an extremely versatile and hardy plant. Its many uses include food products, textiles, building materials, bio-plastics, auto parts and more. Hemp is not to be confused with marijuana. Although the two plants are related, hemp does not contain THC (the active ingredient in marijuana), but instead is known as one of the most nutritious foods on the planet. It was once widely grown in the United States for its fiber. In fact, one of our founding fathers, George Washington, was a hemp farmer! Rich in protein, omega-fatty acids and fiber, hemp has a nutty-tasting seed with a wide variety of uses. Hemp is loaded with all 20 amino acids (including the 9 essential). This densely nutritious food is an excellent addition to the diet of anyone looking for plant-based protein, and is preferred by many vegetarians and vegans. The protein found in hemp seed is very digestible, making it a great choice for sensitive diets. The seed we use comes from certified organic and non-GMO hemp that is grown on farms in Canada. Hemp is the world's most sustainable plant as it is easily cultivated and grown in a variety of areas, does not deplete the soil and requires less water than other crops. We'd love to support U.S. farmers, but it is currently not legal to grow it in this country!" Hope this helps.

The seeds are the size of sesame seeds but are more of a nut's consistency. I think the seeds should blend into a smoothie. I have never tried it. I enjoy sprinkling the seeds on salads and eating them as a snack. If you are using the hemp powder vs seeds exclusively, it may be more cost effective to use the powder.

No, it's not stiff and if your making shamaballa bracelets it pretty good for that. It's not dry like hemp

Try it from your store first if you have doubts. My experience is that it has a whole grain texture. I like it.

There is less fat in the hemp protein powder - my guess is that they extract some oil from it before processing it. The seeds have a higher fat content and great on salads, pasta, to snack on, etc - the powder (I think) needs to be in a smoothie although I substitute it for 1/3 of flour in my pancakes or some muffins.

I don't know exactly. I had finished it in 2-3 months after buying it. Alternatively you can buy from sams club as well. Currently I'm using flex seeds powder bought from sams club.

It only has 1 gr. of sugar which is most likely natural, It is hard for me to say on the flavor as I use it in a fruit and vegetable smoothie witch I drink most every morning. I had been using soy protein, but switched when I heard that soy was now a GMO and they used a lot of pesticides. I am very happy with the Hemp Pro 50. and will reorder it when I run out. Good luck!

I think the confusion is that some still confuse hemp with cannabis. Cannabis oil is not hemp oil. So Brad doesn't really answer the question that you have on that page. I also have this question now that you've posted it... but a different question. What is the difference in hemp plant oil and hemp seed oil?

Rough but only slightly. I would prefer it to be a little rougher. I use it to grind pills for my wife who can't swallow the larger ones. It is not "slick".

They are both healthful - high in Omega 3, Hemp has twice the protein with 10g per ounce vs. 4.7g for Chia. They are both great additions to your diet, it depends on what you like. I use hemp to coat tofu and tempeh and it taste great - I use chia seeds in shakes, but haven't tried any real recipes with them.

100% normal with that brand. I switched to Raw Food World organic Yacun . It's way better , fresher without that hardening

Neither. It's seed ground up but not in powder format. It's kind of like small bits. Still drinkable or I also like it with my protein shakes.

Hi Jeffrey. Good Question: The correct answer is that in this blend NUTIVA sifts more NATURAL fiber from the hemp seeds [no other ingredients are added] into the mix, which changes the ratios of the protein to account for the added fiber (12g of fiber and 11g of protein per serving , whereas the regular Hemp Protein blend is (9g of fiber and 15g of protein). Hope this clarifies confusion.

I am not clear about what you mean by raw? The powder texture is fine ground hemp, pea and rice which is what this is mixture of. Perhaps you can write the manufacturer of this product as the other posts suggests.

Yes. Both hemp seeds and hemp protein powder have taste. I personally do not like the taste of hemp protein powder, but I find it is not as bad tasting as, for example, some rice protein powders I have. I sometimes sneak in some hemp protein powder into my vegan toddler son's cereals and pasta sauce, etc, in small amounts. What does it taste like? Well, for me, it's best summed up like this. I have ruined more delicious and expensive smoothies by adding protein powders to it, incl. hemp protein powder, and also hemp seed, when I should have just left it alone and enjoyed it as it was. But do I keep both hemp seed and hemp protein powders in stock in my home at all times? YES. So I hope this helps.
