UnSymmetrical

When I started to look for a Protein Powder, I’ve ruled out Whey protein right away (see the article on milk). That did not leave me with much choice because of the popularity of Whey. Rice protein was one of the choices but I’ve decided to avoid it since too much rice is not necessarily a good thing. Soy protein had a questionable taste. And on and on and on... Then I found something almost too good to be true. Hemp Protein Powder by Manitoba Harvest. This powder has all the nutritional values that my diet was lacking (not that it isn't lacking it right now). It is 100% raw, 100% plant based with no additives or preservatives and is GMO free. The taste is quite pleasant as well. Reminds me of dry peas mixed with grass. Now, giving that peas and grass does not taste like candy, the powder is still far from being unpleasant. I scoop the powder with the spoon and eat it with out mixing it with any liquids. Simply chasing it with water does the trick. No containers to clean or utensils to wash.

Here are some more interesting facts. "Hemp's overall protein content of 34.6% is comparable to soy beans and is higher than that found in nuts, other seeds, meats, dairy products and fish or poultry. Hemp protein contains all of the essential amino acids in more nutritionally significant amounts and at a ratio closer to "complete" sources of protein (like meat, milk and eggs) than all other seeds except soy. 66% of the proteins in hemp are "edestin," which are easily digestible and act as pre-cursors to such vital body components as hormones, hemoglobin, en2ymes and antibodies. Hemp's edestin structure is the highest in the plant kingdom. Hemp also contains a healthy 35% of dietary fiber, the highest of all commercial flour grains, and it is high in the natural antioxidants Vitamin E, Vitamin C and chlorophyll."
