Initially I thought I was being scammed. With 1-800-USE-HEMP in the USA I get a few calls that aren't ordinary business. Speaking with one of the partners their goal was clear. Increase the protein in the Afghanistan populations bread supply.
War torn for years many of the people are not able to make a living and are not getting the nutritional diet that many are accustomed to in the land of the home and the free (USA). The goal from this non profit was to import hemp flour, test it to make sure it worked in the environment, with the bakers and taste acceptable to the folks who love their bread - a type of Naan bread prevalent in many regions, a type of flat bread.

Results?
The bread was tested in Turkey & found to have increased the protein by 10% - the people liked the taste it reminded them of the ancient grain & it actually didn't get brittle as quick as their "traditional".
