Mike Fata, founder, was inspired to create Manitoba Harvest because he was fed up with being overweight (300+ pounds) and constantly fatigued. He made a drastic decision in his diet and focused on eating foods with protein, good fats, and fiber, which are all nutrients found in hemp foods.

Hemp, as described, is not the same as marijuana. And Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods products all contain less than 0.001% of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, thus will not cause any psychoactive effect nor will it make you fail a drug test. Instead, focus on the good stuff, Hemp seeds contain numerous nutrients including folic acid, which makes it great for pregnant women. They offer more protein and a broader spectrum of omegas than flax, chia, or peas. It is also a good source of potassium and phosphorus.
