Naturya Hemp Protein Powder

Harvested for thousands of years, hemp is one of nature's most versatile plants, with a seed that is a source of protein, amino acids and omega fats. Our hemp is cultivated from the oil-rich seeds, which are cold-pressed and gently milled to produce a fine powder with a natural, nutty flavour.

Production
Naturya Hemp Protein is made from 100% organic hemp. The seeds are analysed to detect contaminants, and cleaned to remove foreign bodies. They are then sorted to remove any unhealthy seeds, and pressed to extract the oil. The resulting pulp of fibre and protein, or 'hemp cake', is milled. A process of sieving separates the fibre from the protein, which is collected and packaged in powder form.

Organic Certification
Naturya Hemp is certified by the Soil Association, one of a handful of organic certification bodies in the UK. These are regulated in their turn by DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs). The role of the Soil Association is to ensure that all foods sold as organic are definably so. It does this by auditing every stage of the supply chain, through growth, export and processing. Soil Association certification – indicated by the Soil Association logo and the EU organic leaf symbol on our packaging – is a guarantee that our customers are purchasing an organic product. All organically-certified products must also carry a certification code on their packaging. For UK companies such as Rainforest Foods this has the format GB-ORG-XX, XX indicating the certifying body. If this is not present, a product is not organic. The Soil Association code on our products is GB-ORG-05.
