The Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) has been adopted by the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences, the World Health Organization (WHO), the food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the U.S. food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is the internationally recognized standard for comparing Proteins for human consumption based on digestibility and the ability to supply amino acids in the amounts required by us humans. The actual scale for PDCAAS is 0 (worst) to 1.0 (best) but those numbers are often converted to the generally more familiar 0 to 100 scale.< /p>

whey, milk, casein, soy and egg Proteins all have a PDCAAS score of 100. Hemp has a PDCAAS score between 49-51 depending on which source you look at. Hemp is a complete Protein source meaning that it contains all nine essential amino acids. However, it is deficient in terms of quantities for all nine of the essential amino acids. In other words, it does not meet minimum protein requirements as defined by PDCAAS.

Given the number and variety of protein options that offer a PDCAAS score at or very near 100, hemp protein may not be the best option for bariatric patients.

There are a number of sources of information on hemp protein but I found this one comparing hemp to soy protein to be quite informative - http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCwQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vitexnutrition.com%2FSoy%2520Protein%2520V%2520Hemp%2520Protein.pdf&ei=_T_QUuLvEs31oATR7YGgCw&usg=AFQjCNGjqgNVveA1xA1diDqwpA1lY_OVUw .

Thanks for this info

Of course everyones taste buds are different, but, It tastes like dirt!!!

[tkauhi 90]

Just tried the hemp Protein and it tastes worse than dirt. Maybe a cross between moldy grass and dirt. Not that I've tried either but it tastes gross!!!

Just got the hemp seeds... They taste like sunflower seeds. I think I'll stick to the Unjury Protein Drinks but since these seeds are 10 grams per 3 tablespoon I think I'll add them to salads for an added boost

Found a Protein Powder to add to my Soups, drinks, puddings, and yogurts. Found it at Drug Emporium in Tyler, Texas. It's called InvisiWhey by TwinLab, you add -to-anything, virtually flavorless, sprinkle-able-protein. I used it in my coffee and it did not completely dissolve. I just stirred with spoon may dissolve better with a wisk.

Heating Protein in coffee, Soups, etc. will cause it to coagulate - think egg white when you put it into a hot pan.
