Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods & Oils

received the 2010 Best New Product and 2010 Company of the Year award from the Manitoba Food Processors Association. Manitoba Harvest earned the Best New Product Award for its new Hemp PRO-70 protein powder, the world’s first water-soluble hemp protein concentrate. Hemp PRO 70 provides a boost of protein and other key nutrients, and because it is water-soluble and has a non-gritty mouth feel and virtually no flavour, it blends easily into beverages and liquid-based foods and recipes. The product is sold in stores throughout North America, and Manitoba Harvest also sells it as an ingredient to other food processors. Founded in 1998, Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods & Oils is the world’s largest vertically integrated, farmer owned hemp-food manufacturer.
