Innovative Healthy Products: What is better than Flax?

Try hemp for health!  Many of you know that I managed the world’s largest flax plant for Glanbia Nutritionals producing 47 value-added products from nutritious golden and brown flax seeds.  Their products are sold worldwide and are used in major name brands of cereals, baked goods, smoothies, energy bars, and animal foods.  Competition however is on the horizon.

I recently learned about another healthy alternative called hemp seed that is grown and processed in western Canada through Manitoba Harvest in Winnipeg.  The company is privately owned and produces a variety of oils and edible products from hemp focused on health, nutrition, quality, digestibility & sustainability.  Their products are described as raw, vegan, green, earth-friendly, whole food & delicious! 

Hemp Hearts are one of their many value-added products promoted as a great heart healthy option and according to Dr. Oz, they are ‘Brain Food’.  Try some on salads.  They appear in a variety of sizes in pouch packs and available across Canada at select Costco, Safeway, Supestore, Loblaws, Fortimnos,  Zehrs, Vitahealth, Fresh & Wild, Organza and numerous health food stores.
