Organic Hemp Protein Powder: A Complete Guide
Organic hemp protein powder is a plant-based powder with a nutty, earthy flavour. This guide explains what it is, how it is made and how to use it.
What is hemp protein powder?
Hemp protein is made from hemp seeds that have been shelled. The oil is extracted by cold-pressing, and the remaining material is milled and sifted into a fine powder. It has a natural green-brown colour and a flavour many people describe as nutty or grassy. Hemp protein is a complete protein, as it contains all nine essential amino acids.
Taste and texture
Hemp protein is less smooth than some powders, with a slightly gritty, fibre-rich texture. Blending helps, and the flavour pairs well with banana, cocoa, peanut butter, berries and vanilla.
Quick start: how to use hemp protein
- Smoothies: blend one serving with fruit and your favourite milk.
- Porridge and oats: stir in after cooking.
- Baking: swap a few tablespoons of flour for the powder in muffins, pancakes and bread.
- Date balls: mix with dates, nut butter and oats.
- Savoury dishes: sprinkle into soups, dips and sauces.

Choosing a protein powder
When comparing powders, look at the ingredients list, flavour, texture, allergen information and price per serving. Hemp is a single-ingredient powder, which makes labels simple to read. If you are exploring other options, see the full protein range.
Hemp protein FAQs
Is hemp protein vegan?
Yes, it is made from plant seeds. Check the label for allergen advice.
Why is it green?
The colour comes from the seed material itself, since the powder is made from milled hemp seeds.
How do I store it?
Seal the pouch and keep it in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight.
Can I bake with it?
