Canada’s Manitoba Harvest, Hemp Foods & Oils sources raw, certified-organic hemp seed used to produce an array of healthful products. Its Certified Organic Dark Chocolate Hemp Protein is made with organic Fair Trade cocoa powder and offers 8 grams of protein, 9 grams of fiber and 400 milligrams of Omega 3s per serving.
