OUR HISTORY L & J Enterprises, Inc., is an artisan food manufacturer in Michigan that began using hemp seed as the main ingredient in products in 2011. We believe we are at the forefront of creating and manufacturing delicious hemp food products that people will come to enjoy for decades to come. Hemp seeds are a perfect, natural blend of easily digestible proteins with 20 amino acids including the 9 essential amino acids necessary for healthy human life. They are rich in essential fatty acids (Omega 3 & 6), and the rarely found Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). They contain antioxidants, fiber, iron, zinc, carotene, phospholipids, phytosterols, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D and E, chlorophyll, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, copper, potassium, phosphorus and enzymes. The 17+ grams of omega fats supplied by the hempseed provides sufficient, continuous energy throughout your day. This tiny seed is nothing short of a superseed-superfood that can provide you with the needed nutrition for healthy body function and survival. Not only does the seed provide an outstanding food for humans and animals; the oil from the seed can serve as nutrition as well as a useful ingredient in body and hair care products, providing a broad spectrum of additional benefits to the body. Our passion to deliver high quality, nutrient dense food begins from the heart. We believe many of the foods on our store shelves today are contributing to chronic disease, even causing illness for many. We are not speaking of food borne illnesses; we are referring to foods that are empty calories, lacking in nutrition that contribute to malnutrition chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, celiac, high blood pressure, arthritis, heart disease, even brain dysfunctions and chronic neurodegenerative disease like Attention Deficit, ADHD and Alzheimer’s disease. Our bodies are overwhelmed today from toxins in processes foods, unnatural foods and chemicals. These everyday toxins not only come from food sources but are found in water and throughout our environment. Our bodies are powerful machines that can be resilient in fighting these toxins by removing them from the body via liver function and other means. To do this, the body needs fuel, which comes from proper nutrition. Hemp seeds are an excellent and natural food choice for this needed fuel. The nutritional profile of the hemp seed speaks for itself in supporting this process. Food is often the focus of social gatherings. For the past few years, our company has been focused on developing nutritionally dense formulated hemp food products that people would enjoy. We recognize that eating tasty foods is one of our human desires in life; eating should be an enjoyable experience. We have spent time in the market place taste testing our product around the United States at various events from local farmers markets to larger venues like Mother Earth News Fairs. Young and old have all given us great reviews on our products. It has been inspiring to have people share with us their personal health improvements after including our hemp seeds and hemp blended products in their diet. We have developed some unique proprietary blends called, Hempelicious HoneyNut Mix, GalaxSEED Energy Bar Mix, Vegan Flap Jacks and Fabulous Flap Jack Mix, which are not only nutritious, they are delicious. We package our own brand of Lady Jane Gou rmet Seed Co Hemp Flour and our trademark brand name of Hempagizer Protein Blast. This all started from the humble beginnings of our Cousin Mary Jane Toasted Hemp Seeds with Sea Salt. TheSovereignVoice.Org
