Everything starts with hemp seeds, which mostly come from China, and less often from Europe. We tested them all: Chinese, Romanian, Austrian, Dutch, and Lithuanian. We wanted a local supplier from Europe, so we focused our search there until we found a Lithuanian farm that has been exclusively cultivating and processing hemp for years. In short, they know what they're doing!
Hemp Seeds
This is the product that appears least often in my kitchen. I never had any ideas for them because they are quite hard, although it's worth remembering that hemp seeds have very good properties and are edible. Inspiration came from a customer. Hemp gomasio, or hemp salt – just lightly toast the hemp seeds in a pan and pound them in a mortar with Himalayan salt or Kłodawa salt (8:1 ratio).

Hulled Hemp Seeds
Without a doubt, this is my favorite hemp product, which I always have at home. It’s also the tastiest, in my opinion :) It's made by gently crushing the seeds until the hull breaks. Then the inner part is separated from the hull, creating 2 products: hulled hemp seeds and hemp fiber (the hull).
I love them as an addition to smoothies and cookies, due to their amazing taste and high protein content - almost 35%. The properties of hulled hemp seeds make them great for supporting weight loss.

Hemp Bran
It is produced during the hulling of seeds; it's simply the shell itself. It's quite hard. Organic hemp bran can also be used as an additive for homemade bread or soap. Thanks to its properties, it wonderfully massages and exfoliates the skin. Hemp hull is a natural scrub.
Hemp Oil
Hulled seeds are slowly pressed at a low temperature (below 42 degrees). Caution: do not fry with this hemp oil! It should only be consumed raw, which is why it is usually used as an addition to salads and sauces. It is also liked for its ideal omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio, which is 3:1.
However, I've received the most positive feedback from you about the effect of this oil on your complexion. Over the years, I've met many clients for whom nothing helped with their skin problems, until they discovered our hemp oil and its amazing properties and applications. Such opinions are probably the best recommendation :)

Hemp Protein
This is our most popular hemp product, which has received very positive reviews from many customers. You love adding it to your protein shakes because it contains as much as 50% highly absorbable protein.
During the pressing of hulled hemp seeds, the oil is separated, as you already know. What remains after oil production is the defatted seed, which simply needs to be gently dried and ground into a powder.
This is how your favorite hemp protein is made. It is a simple and completely natural process, without any additives or complicated chemical processes.

Hemp Flour
It is characterized by a lower protein content and higher fiber content than hemp protein, because it is made by mixing hemp protein with hemp hull. This gluten-free flour is most often the base for delicious recipes for chocolate cookies and muffins.
Hemp Leaves
The distinctive leaves from the upper part of the plant are selected and dried at a low temperature. They are often called hemp tea. They have a pleasant - delicately herbal taste. They taste very good with the addition of freeze-dried cranberries. Due to their calming properties, they are most often used before bedtime.
