Everyone is understanding the importance of "superfoods". From blueberries, to red wine, to dark, leafy greens, California is queen in providing the freshest, nutritious foods that help make our lives so full. In LA, we especially care about treating our bodies right, and it’s a well known fact that most Americans (90%) do not get enough Omega-3s, the essential fatty acids that reduce high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and arthritis, not to mention the risk of heart attack and cancer. But fear not, we might have found a definitive solution to our lack of Omega 3s: Hemp. And Nutiva is here to help bring hemp foods to our tables.
In 1999, John Roulac, a ground breaker in the health and ecological movement of the early 90’s, created Nutiva, a line of food products to help provide the public with the incredible benefits of hemp. Hempseed is considered by leading experts to be an ideal source of Omega-3 & GLA, not to mention that it is packed with protein. Now, Nutiva is helping us reap the benefits of such a human-friendly food with a variety of delicious products.
Nutiva and founder John Roulac have been getting a lot of publicity lately not only because experts, doctors and health nuts have caught on to the benefits of hemp food, but fitness enthusiasts and celebrities have also discovered the tremendous effects of hemp on one’s body. Now, Nutiva brings to the healthy table, HempShakes which are perfect for body buffs who are inclined to mixing up a nutritious and satisfying shake in their trusty blender after a hard workout.
Even before the extraordinary nutritional benefits of hemp foods were widely known, Nutiva introduced our country’s first hemp food bar. The bar is perfect for anyone who wants to begin to include hemp in their daily diet as its quick, easy, delicious, and perfect for anyone on the go. What other superfood comes in bar form?!
And what is really great about Nutiva is that they understand that when you are beginning to incorporate a new food into your diet it is easier to add the product to foods you already make. With Nutiva’s Hemp Seed Oil and Hemp Protein, the chefs out there will be able to stir in and spice up all their favorite meals with the nutritious wonders that hemp provides. Next time you’re cooking up a special meal for yourself or loved ones, sew some extra care and add in Hemp Seed Oil to your broth or reduction, giving them an extra gift of health with all that love and good food.
According to Nutiva’s CEO and Founder, John Roulac: “The nutrition packed into hemp seeds is phenomenal: 33% protein and they have the ideal balance of Omega 3’s to Omega 6’s. So Nutiva offers Shelled Hempseeds so you can snack on hemp in the purest form. Of course you can also add these to almost any dish but they are fun by the handful right out of the bag.
Additionally, Nutiva has added Coconut Oil to its roster of heart friendly foods. Coconut Oil is thought to boost the metabolism and aid weight loss. By adding Nutiva’s Extra Virgin Coconut Oil you may be taking advantage of one of nature’s hidden treasures.
Undoubtedly, this won’t be the last you hear about Nutiva’s fabulous hemp products and coconut oil. They’ve already been featured widely in the media as The Today Show, The Economist, Men’s Journal, Better Nutrition, and The Los Angeles Times help to spread the word about why hemp is truly important in our diet.
