What means organic in China, I'm not sure, but that's what I found:
"there is no limit to how much mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic and aluminum is allowed in "organic" products.

It's a fact: USDA organic standards place NO LIMITS on levels of heavy metals contamination of certified organic foods. Even further, there is no limit on the contamination of PCBs, BPA and other synthetic chemicals that's allowed in certified organic foods, superfoods and supplements.
No! "Organic" certifies a process of how food is grown or produced. It certifies that the farmer doesn't add pesticides, herbicides, petroleum-based fertilizer, metals or synthetic chemicals to the crop (among other things), and it certifies that the soil must be free from such things for a certain number of years before organic certification is approved.

But organic certification does nothing to address environmental sources of pollution such as chemtrails, contaminated irrigation water, and fallout from industrial or chemical factories that might be nearby. A certified organic farmer can use polluted water on their crops and still have the crops labeled "organic."

There are some exceptions to this, by the way. Notably goji berries are grown at high altitude, far away from the pollution of China's cities and rivers. Goji berries sourced from China tend to be very clean and have very low levels of contamination. There are no doubt other exceptions to the rule, but the difficulty is in knowing what to trust that comes out of China.

Just published an investigative story on chlorella showing that "organic" chlorella from China is polluted with nearly ten times the aluminum level of "organic" chlorella from Taiwan. And the cleanest chlorella we found in terms of metals contamination was actually a non-organic chlorella produced in Korea."
I'm so confused now, it's scary...

Lovely tasting hemp seeds. This is the first time I've tried them and the seem very fresh. They came in a well packaged box. I would definitely order again when I run out.

Very healthy, read contents for details, including lots of protein. Sustains energy levels and I personally, after eating with bananas, yoghurt and small amount of rice crispies for breakfast, am not hungry again until approx. 5 hrs. later. I highly recommend this product.

Have just started introducing hemp to my diet, this is a versatile food that taste great in almost any savoury dish. Will buy again from the company price is very competitive compared to high street shops.

arrived really quick, really good price comes in zip locked bag to keep them fresh, good deal and soo good for you

really good value and the seeds are liovely and tasty.a great addition to your breakfast esp if ur a veggie like me

The item was packed as described and was delivered promptly and tastes a bit nutty, but i use it in a shake with other ingredients so and also throw it on anything i am eating,also a great snack.

Prompt delivery - good packaging. So good for you. I sprinkle them on my muesli every morning for breakfast, together with nuts, seeds and fruit. A great start to the day. Had difficulty sourcing them locally at reasonable price.

you can also get a better deal from their site, I got 3kg for 38 pounds with free delivery. That works out to be �12.60 per KG.

I make my protein shake with 250ml of oat milk from Tesco, 6 spoons of shelled organic hemp (I also mill this to make it ground), 3 spoons of ground organic flax seed from buywholefoodsonline(if you heat this with milk or water, it becomes a lot softer and makes it easy to down. without heating it can be very gritty), cocoa powder from Tesco, 1 spoon of brown sugar. you should get about 30g of protein from the hemp+flax seed.

This can work really well as a meal replacement as you can around 600+ calories from this. 170 cal from ground flax seed, 356 cal from 60g of hemp seed and 100 cal from oat milk.
