Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. announced its entry into the U.S. plant-based food market with an initial purchase order for its proprietary hemp protein product. The order has come from an established U.S. company that is listed on a major exchange. The global plant protein market was valued at $29.4 billion in 2020 and could surpass $162 billion by 2030, which would make up 7.7% of the global protein market.

The immense nutritional value of hemp can be attributed to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, bioavailability, neuroprotective actions, and the ability to help lower the risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Hemp-based protein products are gaining serious attention as they are recognized as a highly nutritious, easily digestible source of protein that contains all nine essential amino acids, as well as both essential fatty acids required by the human body.
