Should this product be hard as a brick? I've ordered hemp powders before, and they were never hard.Is this normal or a defective package?

No, it should always be a loose powder like flour would be. Clearly your batch got moisture inside and/or is old. Return it.

Totally normal - that's the vacuum sealing. When it opens it all fluffs out.

I have never had this experience . . . Nutiva has always arrived in a powder.

My chocolate pb2 was initially like that, but once I got the package opened and started using it, I was able to break it up and it was powder. It had more lumps than the regular pb2, but just needed a bit of kneading. If this is not the case with yours, you may contact bell plantation. They appear to be interested in creating a quality product and would likely want to replace your rock with a new package.

For the longest time i bought this milk from Amazon,but two weeks ago i googled hemp products (in the name of town i live in) and found there were several places close to me that sold hemp products,some of which sell out of their homes.Try it.As big as Birmingham is there must be several places.

Hi Dee, I'm just seeing this question now. The other comments are correct, there shouldn't be any grittiness. It should be smooth and creamy. Your jar may have been subjected to heat during shipping. Please email me (if you haven't already) and I'll send you a replacement jar right away. KennyCEOChristina Moss Naturals

Sorry to hear that Jill. We are on our 4th box and the texture has been fairly consistent. What I have noticed is that the size of the "flake" might be dependent on how much the box was adjutated during shipping.

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.

happy herb,it is not fine as powdery,it is fine as sand.However i noticed that when you shifts and move the product a dust lifts up.

No! All the air is vacuumed out so it's always hard, as soon as your open it it expands and the powder will loosen. You may need to massage the bag a bit to loosten the pb2 but it's just compacted well in there. I get 4 of these a month, it's my favorite !

As far as I can tell it should be a tightly packed brownish powder but not rock hard. As with any other med, it should dissolve completely.

It probably settled. What does the expiration date say? I love hemp milk, it does have a long shelf life, make sure you shake it up good! Make sure the carton was totally sealed, and no air got in. Should be cream colored. Susan

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.

Hemp are completely different. They have a very toasty delicious flavor. I eat a spoonful when I am craving something. I hate to put them into something else like a smoothie because I want to enjoy the full flavor rather than it getting lost. Another reviewer discussed the benefits so I won't go over that. I will say that I started out eating three tablespoons, I really liked them! That quickly gave me some stomach issues, I have now cut it to a rounded teaspoon. Hope this helps! Shirl

Grittiness? I am on my 4th jar and none of them have been gritty. Just cream. If you call customer service they will probably replace it for free. This company has amazing customer service. Also store it in the frig.

no that's not normal, but I've had that happen with other brands. it's possible the powder package wasn't sealed good. I would believe the product would be fine to use unless the outer box was damaged.
