New 50% Hemp Protein from Nutiva
Our good friend, Nutiva fan, and raw food guru, Matt Monarch loves the new 50% Protein. Matt says "This is amazing- Nutiva's new protein tastes like Chex cereal." Monthly Deal Nutiva's E-newsletter readers can save$5-Off on our 3 new Hemp Food products. Here is a $5-Off coupon good until December 12, 2008 -- and can be used multiple times: eathemp Two North Dakota farmers, who filed a lawsuit in June of 2007 to end the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) ban on commercial hemp farming in the U.S., were back in court on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Nutiva® helps support VoteHemp in the hemp industry's efforts to grow hemp once again in the USA. The farmers, North Dakota State Rep. David Monson and Wayne Hauge, are appealing a decision by the U.S. District Court, District of North Dakota on a number of grounds; in particular, the District Court ruled that hemp and marijuana are the same, as the DEA has wrongly contended. In fact, scientific evidence clearly shows that not only is industrial hemp genetically distinct from drug varieties of Cannabis, but there are also absolutely no psychoactive effects gained from ingesting it. Read more on this. Hemp Factoid: Nutiva® CEO and Founder, John W Roulac, raced in the August 31, 2008 Washington State Triathlon on Orcas Island. "I finished and survived the triathlon on Sunday on Orcas Island, WA state. The operative word is I survived! This race was the most grueling sports endurance event I have done. Below is a shot of me after crossing the finish line" ; )
"This year my swim was 30 seconds faster, with improved technique and my bike ride was going pretty well for for the first half. A wasp stung me in my right leg. I did not pay much attention to this and kept going. Yet I started to slow and became a bit tired. The race has about 10 hills with one last one straight pretty much for over a mile. People kept passing going up the hills- and I was not going that slowly. I recall one attractive woman passing me - saying is that Mr. California? She passed me pretty quickly as did more people. By the time I finished the bike I was about 95% spent...done. I took a few cups of water and my legs were shot....and 3.5 miles ahead of me of up and down hills and over roots and logs...I started very slow." "1/2 mile to finish and my legs started cramping up....I just focused on finishing. Slow finish but I made it. A bit hard on my ego coming in 2 hours 16 minutes - way slower than last years 2 hr 4 minutes. The winner this year was 1 hr 18 minutes. The upside is I did complete the race and the goal of competing in it kept me in my best shape ever!" "In looking back, I see I need to work on my energy, core strength and overall conditioning. I think my 6 day water fast which ended around July 5th may have drained me of some of my vital energy. My annual fasting will now be in early spring vs summer.And I need to practice even more on hills. And maybe next time that wasp will not sting me!" Nutiva® Hemp Oil "This hemp oil tastes great. I use it for anything that could
use a bit of oil dressing in place of olive oil or sunflower oil.
The color adds to the appeal as well. It looks almost as green
as pumpkin seed oil, but tastes even better...and has omega-3.
I recommend you give this a try. I really love it!" Nutiva® Hempseed "I brought Nutiva's Hempseeds to a friend's house so he could
try them; he's a big fan of hemp products but had never eaten the
seeds. he got super-excited and had his wife, brother, sister-in-law,
and several kids try them...everyone loved them, especially one
8-year-old nephew who is reputed to be a picky eater. I had to
hide the bag so i'd have a little left to bring home! delicious
on salad & toast, in oatmeal & smoothies. they remind me
of sesame seeds...if you could just eat the "inside" of
them. they're buttery and very soft, and seem like they would be
easier to digest than other seeds. I toasted some in a dry pan
and added an equal amount of chia seeds and a little sea salt for
a home-made gomasio; oh my goodness, my cat just ate some of my
hempseeds! well, this crazy cat eats watermelon and drinks pineapple
juice & lemonade, so I’m not saying your cat would like
them...  Solar-Popped Popcorn! And using Nutiva Coconut Oil, of course; ) Nutiva Founder & CEO John W Roulac's latest favorite smoothie he makes before his workout: 3 tablespoons of Nutiva 50% Hemp Protein Directions: Blend up and serve. * Mesquite is a bit hard to find, but worth the hassle. Adds a nice sweet and smoky flavor to any recipe. Mesquite tree's produce a nutritious pod, like carob, and has been used for thousands of years by native peoples. Grows wild in the Sonora Desert, Baja, and Peru. "Shall We Gather at the River" "Shall We Gather at the River" is a powerful movie covering
the dark side of the meat and poultry factory farms. In watching
the trailer, no wonder so many people are sick around the world. Check
out the trailer on Youtube. Nutiva donates 1% of its sales to groups supporting sustainable agriculture. These groups' activities range from community gardens, to GMO labeling, to the banning of toxic pesticides. In 2007, Nutiva donated $70,000 to these programs. This month we're delighted to honor the National Organic Coalition (NOC), a national alliance of organizations working to provide a "Washington voice" for farmers, ranchers, environmentalists, consumers and progressive-industry members involved in organic agriculture. NOC works cooperatively with sustainable-agriculture organizations and advocates a united voice for organic integrity.
