Hello Scott. Thanks so much for your comment. Yes, you should be getting some Omega 3 through chewing the granola and some of the flax seeds are broken down during production. We use whole flax seeds in order to maintain the product’s freshness without artificial preservatives. Cheers, Heather, Brand Ambassador, Hemp Plus Granola lover

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on July 6, 2010 - 22:51.

I bought this for the hemp nutrition omeganess as no other cereal has hemp in it that I know of. I would really like this product gluten free, without cane sugar, and less expensive if possible. Could you use rolled buckwheat flakes instead or certified gluten free oats? Bob’s Red Mill makes those. Id really rather have buckwheat though. perhaps a new variety? A hemp pumpkin buckwheat granola with ginger? Also, I am on Weight Watchers and this cereal is very high in calories and fat. Coudl you either up the fiber or lower the sugar or both? Have you ever considered a partnership with WW to get points values displayed on the front on your boxes so gluten free dieters can see or any weight conscious health conscious person can know. Can you also use another oil than soy??? Many people are allergic to soy including me. Could you use flax, hemp, grapeseed or canola or best maybe safflower oil? I know many of the previous oils its bad to heat them. Could you skip the evaporated cane juice and keep the molasses maybe? I think that woudl be best. Others have good sugar alternative ideas here, I also care about my teeth. Fillings and crowns are exensive and plaque and cavities are bad.

I like this comment it’s very thorough… I don’t mind the rolled oats but I totally agree with the need to reduce the sugars (maybe to around 5g..) and using healthier oil… Also, as a comment below stated, it is important for me to have the flax seeds crushed… maybe you can get your oil content from there and thereby reducing the need to use any other oil for baking. Aw geez maybe I’ll just make my own… LOL

I notice many small seeds in your Hemp Plus Granola. I assume that these are flax seeds. I have read and heard that the Omega-3 ALA’s in flax seeds are not readily absorbed into the body unless the seeds have been crushed. Whole seeds are said to pass undigested through the intestinal tract. Are the flax seeds in your “*.* Plus” Granolas crushed? If not, while the cereal may CONTAIN the Omega-3’s, we may not be actually GETTING them.

Hi RaMagi, thanks for sharing

Hi RaMagi, thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We are happy to hear that you love our Hemp Plus® Granola! Hemp seed is a very nutritious ingredient with up to 35% protein and all 9 amino acids. They are high in unsaturated fats – the good fats – including the omega-3 fatty acids. Hulled hempseed is not to be confused with marijuana, they actually come from two different types of plants. The flaxseeds are small golden brown seeds that are similar in shape and size to sesame seeds. I hope this helps! Best, Kyla, Brand Ambassador, Gorilla Munch Addict

I would agree. I would feel much more confident eating this granola if it was a little bit lighter on the cane sugar. However, I enjoy the sweetness, and think that if sugar was reduced, the granola would taste like it is missing something. This is why I agree with the above poster, that something such as Stevia would be a welcome addition. Even half cane sugar and half Stevia would be nice. Thanks for a great product, it truly is delicious!

Hey Chris, hemp seed is a very nutritious ingredient and is high in unsaturated fats – the good fats, including omega-3s. They also contain a wide variety of vitamins & minerals! We have had our hemp products tested by two independent labs to determine the level of THC in the food, and based on this scientific testing we are able to report finding no detectable THC in our foods.

Submitted by Frank (not verified) on June 9, 2010 - 18:03.

Hemp seeds are produced by the female hemp/marijuana plant only. Actually, with any sexed plants on the Earth, seeds are always produced by the female plant. “Marijuana” as you call it, is a specific species of plant. So no, you are incorrect - when eating hemp foods, you are in fact eating Marijuana. (Hemp = Marijuana) THC is in both male and female plants, as well as commercial hemp of both sexes. But supposedly, hemp seeds/oil contain only trace amounts of cannabinoids, including Delta-9-THC, (which is just THC.) Commercial hemp used for paper, cordage, and food is supposed to contain much lower amounts of THC and other cannabinoids than marijuana grown for their sweet, relaxing, potent flowers and resin. Our Declaration of Independence, as well as our Constitution was printed on paper made form marijuana/hemp. William Randolph Hurst campaigned with help from the government in the 1920s to make hemp/marijuana illegal, because it was putting him out of business since he had a monopoly on the tree-paper industry. The US Gov was making plenty of money with Hurst on this, and that is why marijuana is illegal in the US today. An acre of marijuana will produce 8 times more paper than an acre of trees, even if used over and over again, for eternity. I am concerned with hemp seed food causing a positive drug screen result as well. I am surprised the company reps haven’t responded to any of our questions. You’d think they make enough money to want to give some feedback on their product line’s web page.

Thank you so very much, Kylie. It looks as if that other study is a few years old and that hemp foods have been regulated more and more lately, in regards to lesser amount of trace cannabinoids. The study you referenced seems very up to date and it looks like there isn’t much concern regarding involuntary intoxication or positive results from drug screens. I stand corrected :-) Now I can get back to eating this bag of hemp granola. Thanks again.

I am writing to you because I LOVE the Hemp Plus & Pumpkin Granolas! I've had a couple other cereals of yours before, but these two are by far my favorite. (I guess I'm just a granola girl!) I recently discovered the Hemp Plus Granola, catching one of the local grocers on one of those "off" days where they actually stock something a consumer would REALLY want if only they could ever find it on the shelves! (I went to two different grocery stores last night: no dice. Oh, well. :) ) Anyway, the granolas are delicious; I wanted to offer my compliments & gratitude. :) Thank you for everything: for your deep respect for this world — the natural environment, and our physical & spiritual health & happiness; for helping business folk who care about environmental & health ethics to uphold these values, produce only good things for this world, & make a living doing so (from the farmers to the ink & cardboard manufacturers!); & for your general positive energy & love! :) Please keep making delicious, nutritious, wonderfully good foods! Please continue to reduce packaging & to use packaging made from renewable, biodegradable (or, better yet: compostable!), organic resources that are produced environmentally safely.
