Q: Are Hemp Hearts™
safe for animals?
A: Yes.
Those who replace larger amounts of inferior grain-based starchy foods
with smaller amounts of
Hemp Hearts™ will usually produce sleek, trim,
energetic, healthy animals. Significant consumption of
Hemp Hearts™ is usually effective in reversing most health
conditions characterized by poor circulation or inflammation. Older
animals with diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and many disorders of
the digestive system usually respond well to diets containing
significant amounts of
Hemp Hearts™. Significant use of
Hemp Hearts™ always results in superior hair and skin
condition with greatly decreased shedding. Hair appears vibrant; Eczema,
psoriasis and most other skin and hair conditions disappear.
Those who feed
Hemp Hearts™ to older pets often notice that their pets
have more energy but less aches and pains.
Older pets usually act and appear as though they were much younger.
Racehorses and other animals used competitively often continue to
exhibit improvements in performance after months of significant use of
Hemp Hearts™. Initial improvements may be due to the
increased energy available with
Hemp Hearts™; Continued improvements are often the result
of increased circulation, reduced inflammation and more rapid recovery
after strenuous competition and injury.
Offspring of animals using
Hemp Hearts™ achieve their potential more completely and
more rapidly. Pets that can not eat solid food can be fed Hemp Milk
which is made by blending one part
Hemp Hearts™ with one or two parts water at high speed.
Gradually introduce
Hemp Hearts™ to your pets in foods to which they are
already accustomed. The portions of other pet foods can usually be
reduced by at least two parts for each weight of
Hemp Hearts™ added. Increase to a daily total of about
four measuring tablespoons (32g. or 1.13 oz.) of
Hemp Hearts™ for each 50 lbs (22.72 kg) of animal
weight—more for high performance animals.
Product: Hemp Oil
Q: Does Hemp Oil
require refrigeration?
A: No. Our pure, Clear Hemp Oil does not need to refrigerated. It has a
shelf life of over 1 year. When the bottles are filled they are nitrogen
blanketed to displace any oxygen or water vapour.
Q: Can I cook with
Hemp Oil?
A: Yes. You can eat Clear Hemp Oil raw or cook with it. Use it as you
would any other salad or cooking oil. It is one of the few cooking oils

Clear Hemp Oil unless temperatures are well above 250 degrees C (482 F)
for much more than one-half hour or well above 200 degrees C (392 F) for
longer than 16 hours. Pure Clear Hemp Oil is very stable contrary to
public opinion. A lot of people compare it to Flax Oil which is very
unstable.
Product: Hemp Bars
Q: Do Hemp Bars require refrigeration?
A: No. Storing your Hemp Bars in a cool, dark place is
recommended - direct sunlight and high temperatures might melt the
chocolate.
Q: What is shelf life of Hemp Bars?
Hemp Bars have shelf life of 6 months (without
refrigeration). Although refrigeration is not required we suggest keeping them in a fridge. We do not stock them since they are
made fresh each day and shipped within a day or two so you can count 6
months from the day you received them.

vegan?
A: Yes. The chocolate in the Hemp Bars has no dairy - it
is bittersweet (dark) chocolate.
Q: Do Hemp Bars
contain sugar?
A: Yes. The dark chocolate in half of one bar contains 9
g of sugar, usually insignificant in comparison with the quantities of
protein, essential fats and other valuable nutrients present.
Hemp: Legal, Drug
Testing, Safety and THC
Q: Are Hemp Foods
legal?
A: Yes, Hemp Foods and other hemp products made form industrial hemp
plants are legal. Hemp without THC is legal to grow in Canada, consume
and export. Our Hemp Foods contain 0.0% THC, as laboratory tested. We
can ship Hemp Hearts to many countries as a result. However, it is not
legal to grow hemp in the USA.

Hemp Foods?
A: No. There is absolutely no THC (the active chemical that is in
marijuana) in Hemp Foods, not even 1 part per million can be detected.
Q: Will I test
positive with drug testing?
A: No. Because there is no THC, you will not test positive for any drug
test.
Q: Are Hemp Foods safe
to eat if I am pregnant?
A: Yes. Hemp Foods are great natural nutrition for pregnant mothers -
consult your doctor if you are concerned about adding a new food to your
diet. Give your doctor the link to this web site or a copy of the flyer
which is sent with your Hemp Foods.
*
THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol ) is the
psychoactive ingredient found in hashish and marijuana. While THC is
present in all Cannabis plant varieties to some extent, industrial hemp
does not contain an amount to produce any intoxicating effect, even in
significant quantities. In varieties grown for use as a drug THC levels
can reach as high as 24%.
In hemp varieties grown for seed or fibre use, the plants are grown very
closely together and a very dense biomass product is obtained, rich in
oil from the seeds and fibre from the stalks and low in THC content. EU
and Canadian regulations limit THC content to 0.3% in industrial hemp.
Hemp: Organic
vs. Identity Preserved
Q: Are Hemp Foods
certified organic?
A: Our product is grown and processed in Southern Alberta, Canada and is
"identity preserved" in lots equivalent to certified organic. Every lot
can be traced to its source and is laboratory tested to guarantee the
absence of contaminants. Our partner and processor has over 30 years of
experience in the food processing business, and designed and constructed
the only large facility in the world that is dedicated to the production
of shelled hemp seed.
Q: Do you use
herbicides or pesticides in growing Hemp?
A: No. There are no pesticides or insecticides used in cultivating our
hemp plants. The crop is hardy, dense and tall, and naturally not
subject to significant pest impact. No chemicals are necessary in the
production or processing of our product.
Q: Are there any
chemicals used in making Hemp Foods?
A: No. Our shelled hemp seed has not been treated in any way and is free
from any chemical preservatives.
Q: Are Hemp Foods
irradiated?
A: No. Our Hemp Foods are not irradiated, pasteurized or altered in any
way from the natural state which might compromise their food value.
Q: How are Hemp Foods
preserved?
A: There is enough natural preservative, in the form of Vitamin E, that
keeps the Hemp Hearts™ from going rancid, naturally.
Q: Is the cultivation
of Hemp sustainable?
A: Yes. Every part of the hemp plant can be used. The fibre is superior
to tree fibre for paper, and superior to cotton for fabric. The fibre
can also be used as a building material. Any remaining leaves or unused
stalks are fed to animals or used in composting.

Q: What are my

options for the USA - we can only presently guarantee delivery and
successful import into the USA without customs delays by using parcel
post (Canada Post / US Postal Service). Shipments to the USA will also
only be sent in max. 2 cases per day per address, so if you order more
than 2 cases, you may not receive all your cases at the same time.
Q: What about shipping
to a country not listed on your web site?
A: Please contact us. We are always expanding our market and will
investigate any request to ship to a country or region not listed on our
web site.
Q: Can you ship to
Australia and New Zealand?
A: No. Although that country grows hemp and produces hemp products for
export, our understanding is that it is not legal for human consumption.
We have had many inquires from Australia and we would like to have this
product available there to transform the health of Australians, but not
until there are more progressive laws that permit the human consumption
of hemp grown in Australia.
