Hemp Seeds – Iswari

Legend has it that before achieving enlightenment, and becoming known as Buddha, Siddhartha nourished himself solely with Hemp Seeds, given how nutritionally rich these small seeds are.

With 30 % protein, and considerable amounts of omega 3 and 6, vitamin E, and many other nutrients, these seeds are effectively a very rich food for children and adults.

Their high protein content make Hemp Seeds a very popular option among athletes, as well as those who follow vegetarian and vegan diets.
