How Hemp Seeds can Help Supplement Protein in a Vegan Diet

If you are a vegan, one of the main concerns you will probably have is that of getting enough protein in your daily diet.

Without the obvious source of meat, you need to consider what other food sources and groups contain protein.

Although fruit and vegetables are healthy for your overall diet and wellbeing, they do not provide enough protein that is needed for your daily intake.

Therefore you need to boost your daily protein intake and one easy way of doing so is by consuming hemp seeds.

Great Source of Natural Protein

The protein found within hemp seeds, known as globulin edistin, contains albumin, the protein that is similar to that found in blood plasma. This protein is also extremely digestible, even more so than soy.

Unlike soy, hemp seeds also allow the body to absorb protein more easily as they do not contain physical acid, which prevents the absorption of much needed minerals.

It is vital that as a vegan, you make sure that your diet contains enough protein, as this will help to strengthen your immunity and fight off those harmful toxins.

Daily Dose of Essential Fatty Acids

What is also good to know is that as an added bonus of eating hemp seeds, you also get your daily dose of essential Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, also known as good fats that help to reduce your risk of heart attack as well as reducing inflammation.

Eating hemp seeds is a natural and safe way to increase your protein intake. The protein is easily digestible and easily incorporated into your everyday diet. So how do you go about it?

How do you add hemp seeds to your food or create wonderful and tasty dishes with them? Well adding hemp seeds to your diet can be incredibly easy. You just need to be adventurous and think a little differently to how you prepare your food.

So increasing your protein intake is easily achievable by adding hemp seeds to your everyday meals and drinks. They are easily digestible and are a natural source of protein; they really are the healthy choice.
