Good question, Susan. I was looking for the same answer. I know hemp is high in protien and GLA… good for toxin removal and to fight inflammation, but I can’t find the oxalte value anywhere.
If Hemp is to come back as a mainstram food…then the industry needs to act responsibley to consumers and research and inform the public about things like Oxalate content….I suffer from Kidney stones and I expect the Hemp Industry to list the Oxalate content, just like Rubarb,Spinach,and other foods.
