Lean and Green Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Mums created the best Hemp Protein around. I have been actively seeking a way to carry the highest quality product. They are creating a new line and offering the older product at a deep discount. I don't have the exact pricing yet however I will be receiving 100lbs of Hemp Protein and it needs to go! It will expire by Jan 2012. Triple Cold Milled Organic Hemp Protein Powder sourced from finnola http://www.mumsoriginal.com/. Thankfully R.C. hooked us up with probably one of the most knowledgeable people around for hemp. He works for several different lines and this one is his favorite. This brand is rated at the top in terms of quality. Vegan Proteins will be the only company carrying this in the states and we'd like to offer a special forum only deal to those who want it. As soon as I can figure out what it will cost, I can spread the word to our community so we can benefit. I'm thinking proceeds can help towards the documentary which is finally moving forward with an estimated final production date to hopefully be around the fall. I looked at prices and hopefully we can compete or moreover beat Nutiva bulk prices. I have been told that Nutiva is not of good quality and have chosen not to go with them. Mum's will be better and cheaper for us If anyone can please respond with how many lbs you may want pre order, I can make sure to help out!

Adena Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 What's like, an average price for organic hemp protein powder? I know you're offering a discount once you get it sorted out, I just want to get a rough idea of how much I can afford to order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lean and Green Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 This is Heirloom Organic Hemp Protein from a specific high quality farm and definitely one of if not the best out there on the market. The average price range depends on what type you're getting (Nutiva is not as good, general consensus amongst those in the hemp industry) and how they process. The cheaper brands range from $7-9 per lb. Some places charge more. We will probably be advertising it on our websitee for $8.00-8.50 per lb depending on qty purchased. This is a community we hold dear to us and we want to hook you up. Anyone who is ordering from here will get it for $7 per lb. I believe each pkg is 1.1kg or 2.2lbs. So that would be the min and it's in increments of 2.2lbs etc.. It was shipped from Canada to us today and we are being told it will arrive on or before January 17th. Looking forward to helping out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kckas Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Can you point me to an article or some information that says Nutivia is bad? I currently buy both their organic hemp seeds and powder in bulk and though I've not tried other brands the taste and quality seem good. Thanks!

dN Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Lean and Green I am definitely interested in buying approximately 2 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lean and Green Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 kckas, I wouldn't say it is 'bad', only not as good meaning this farm is better and the seed used is of better quality. I am gathering information from a person who has worked in the industry throughout his career for most of the different farms and brands. This is his favorite and he has since weeded out the others. I will get that info and relay it back asap. Would be good to know why, I agree. D@n@ absolutely, I will let you know as soon as it arrives and have a price per bag, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adena Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Go ahead and put me down for one 2.2 lb package, I'll give it a whirl. Thanks for the special deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently buy both their organic hemp seeds and powder in bulk and though I've not tried other brands the taste and quality seem good. Thanks! Answer: As for info, I am not sure if I sent you the Did you know article for mums, that explains the differences but not with any brand in particular. We have never compared ourselves to other brands just other seed, we just don't want to look like we are calling anyone out.. I would tell your customers that we the only company to use the Finnola seed, which contains 25-30% higher GLA than any other hemp. We have No non organic products at all since our whole farm is a certified organic farm. Article on while Mum's is different than other. Hope the verbage helps. I just get excited when I can offer something good. Anything you use that iraw unprocessed and vegan is of much better quality han most. Sorry I don't have a reference to where this article is coming from. Got in an email and short on time. I will try to cite it later if need be. Here goes: Did you Know? Hempseed is free of gluten, mold, yeast, nuts and dairy. Mum’s Hemp GLA levels are up to 25% higher than other brands. Mum’s Hemp is organic, non‐GMO and is low in carbohydrates. Hempseed contains the highest source of vegetable protein found onearth and contains all 20 known amino acids including the 9 essentialamino acids (EAAs) our bodies cannot produce. Hemp provides an excellent alternative to Soy as recent research hasidentified soy’s harmful effects (for example: most soy is GMO, has ahigh content of phytic acid which inhibits absorption of iron; hasphytoestrogens that interfere with thyroid functioning; Chineseproduced soy is often produced with aluminum which is toxic to thenervous system and kidneys; processing of soy protein results in theformation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenicnitrosamines…and the studies continue!) Hempseed contains omega‐3s and omega‐6s (essential fatty acidswhich cannot be made by our body and thus need to be derived fromour foods) with the optimal ratio between 2:1 and 3:1. Many nutritionalstudies have investigated the health benefits of essential fatty acids(EFAs), most of which can be attributed to the anti‐ inflammatory andlipid lowering properties. EFAs influence the immune system andregulate mood and cognitive functions. Research also indicates thatomega‐3. consumption can assist in management of health conditionssuch as: depression, cancer, lupus and asthma Hemp is one of the few foods on earth with an omega 6 EFA calledgama‐lineic‐acid(GLA). GLA is necessary to produce anti‐inflammatorycompounds, and affects pain, blood pressure, fluid balance, bloodclotting, hormone production and function. GLA also inhibits theproduction of pro‐inflammatory compounds and allows our cells toremain fluid. GLA must be consumed as our body does not make it.Very few foods provide GLA’s and is only found in hemp, borage oil,blackcurrant oil, evening primrose and mother’s milk. Medical research on Hempseed indicates that it: (i) improvessymptoms of premenstrual syndrome, heart disease, eczema,rheumatoid arthritis, and asthma; (ii) increases the effectiveness ofdrugs used to treat breast cancer; and (iii) can reduce weight regainwith major weight loss. Hempseed contains several plant enzymes which help reducecholesterol levels, as they prevent the uptake of cholesterol into theblood. Additionally, Hempseed contains 44% fibre, 92% of which issoluble. Clinical research has shown that soluble fibre lowerscholesterol levels so this high ratio is very positive. Hempseed contains several forms of vitamin E: a known antioxidant.It also contains many vitamins and minerals, especially substantialamounts of manganese, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, zinc,and vitamin B1 and B5. Hempseed has Chlorophyll in it which our body can easily transforminto haemoglobin, increasing the flow of oxygen to all parts of the body. Hempseed contains several nutrients which are not present in flaxseed(e.g. GLA and chlorophyll), and it contains more vitamins and mineralsthan flaxseed. Additionally, flaxseed contains several anti‐nutrients:cyanogenic glycosides, vitamin B6 antagonistic factors, lignans, andcadmium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsop_3 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Sweet action! I'd be interested in at least 3kg (3 x 2.2lb bags). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriVegan Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Looks like a quality product.... at $7 per lb I'm in. I currently go through about 4-6 lbs of Nutiva a month. I use it for smoothies, as well as for making homemade protein bars.Let me know when they're in.... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lean and Green Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 This should arrive on thursday. Once I have it in hand, we'll send out pm's to everyone and let you know the specifics, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lean and Green Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 It's arrived and up for sale at http://www.veganproteins.com (between $8.00-$9.50 per lb). The shipping cost us double what we had expected. HOWEVER... We are keeping true to our offer for all community members for a period of time @ $7.00 per lb. You can see our retail posting here.http://veganproteins.com/vegan-protein-shop/Organic-Heirloom-Hemp-Protein-Powder.htmlIt comes in 2 kilo bags (4.41lbs). @ vbbf community price ($7 per lb): 2 kilos = $30.87 ($45.87 shipped) 4 kilos = $61.74 ($76.74 shipped) 6 kilos = $92.61 ($107.61 shipped) (shipping is added in above at $15.00) A pm is necessary prior to checkout. Let me know if this will work for you. Hope we can help. On a future note...So we got word that due to the flooding this year in Canada as a whole they only havested about 125k kilos and they usually do around 350k. A lot of the wholesalers are now going to China to meet the demand. We have a lock on the highest quality farm out there. Other wholesalers tried to pay 4x what Mum's does to get better quality inventory. The finnola seed farm (only one), stuck with Mum's because they are loyal and like the company. Mum's only deals with us for bulk hemp protein. They may not carry it in the future however we have it for now and will likely have a good product to offer in the future when this runs dry.

Lean and Green Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 We're out temporarily (should be 1-3 weeks and then we'll have more in stock). I am trying to workout a price with the exporter that will benefit us with a consistent long term supply. My price point will actually be higher than the price paid this time around... I am confident that we can work out a happy medium, because shipping+customs alone runs us $2.70 per lb to import from Canada. Luckily, this is the best stuff around so I am willing to stand behind it and carry it over the cheaper hemp. Not to worry though, we'll keep as competitive a price as possible on it. vegmama looks delicious! I am going to try date, oats, hemp, coconut shreds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
