What is Organic Hemp Flour and how is it produced?
Our Organic Hemp Flour is derived from premium hemp seeds grown on certified organic farms. After the seeds are cold-pressed to extract hemp oil, the remaining nutrient-rich “cake” is milled at low temperatures and finely sifted into a versatile flour. This mechanical process ensures no chemical solvents (like Hexane) are used and keeps temperatures below 40°C to preserve heat-sensitive nutrients.
- Appearance: Fine, light green to olive-brown powder.
- Flavor Profile: Mild, earthy, and distinctively nutty.
- Certifications: USDA Organic, EU Organic, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-Free.
What makes its nutritional profile so exceptional?
Hemp flour is a nutritional powerhouse, recognized as a complete plant-based protein source that provides a perfect balance of essential fatty acids and dietary fiber.

Why should you choose our Organic Hemp Flour?
- Complete Amino Acid Profile: Unlike many plant proteins, hemp contains all 9 essential amino acids, making it a superior choice for vegans and athletes.

- Superior Digestibility: Hemp protein consists mainly of Edestin, which is highly compatible with the human digestive system, reducing the risk of bloating compared to soy or dairy.
- Clean Label Appeal: 100% raw, single-ingredient, and free from additives, preservatives, or artificial sweeteners.
How can this ingredient be applied in food manufacturing?
Organic Hemp Flour serves as a functional, nutrient-dense substitute or additive in various categories:
- Bakery Products: Replace 15-20% of conventional flour in breads, muffins, and pancakes to boost protein and fiber content.
- Nutritional Bars: An ideal binder for raw energy balls and keto-friendly snack bars.
- Smoothies & Shakes: Adds a natural, nutty depth to plant-based shakes as a whole-food protein supplement.
- Savory Cooking: Use as a thickening agent for soups or as a nutritious breading for plant-based meats.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does hemp flour contain THC, and will it have a psychoactive effect?
A: Absolutely not. Our flour is produced from industrial hemp varieties. The THC content is consistently below the legal limit of 0.3%. It is strictly a nutritional product and has no “high” or psychoactive properties whatsoever.
Q: How does hemp flour differ from hemp protein powder?
A: It’s about fiber vs. concentration. Hemp flour is a whole-food product containing higher levels of dietary fiber. Hemp protein powder typically undergoes further sifting to remove more fiber and increase the protein percentage per gram. Flour is generally better for baking and texture.
Q: Why is the flour green, and does this affect the end product?
A: The green hue comes from natural Chlorophyll. This indicates a raw, unrefined process. While it will lend a darker, rustic color to baked goods, it also signals a high antioxidant content and minimal processing.
Q: What is the best way to store hemp flour to prevent spoilage?
A: Keep it cool and dark. Because of the sensitive Omega fatty acids, hemp flour is prone to oxidation. We recommend storing it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, or ideally in the refrigerator or freezer after opening to extend shelf life.
Q: Is your Organic Hemp Flour suitable for Keto or Paleo diets?
A: Yes. Due to its high fiber-to-carb ratio and rich healthy fat content, it is an excellent low-carb ingredient for both Keto and Paleo-compliant recipes.
Q: What is the shelf life of this product?
A: When stored in a cool, dark environment, our hemp flour typically has a shelf life of 22 to 24 months. Refrigeration is recommended for bulk quantities to maintain peak freshness.
