About
You’ll love our foods that are gluten free, soy free, nut free; and mostly dairy free. Hemp seeds are our niche. They’re the ultimate in plant based nutrition; a complete plant-based protein providing 20-amino acids. That’s more digestible protein than meat, fish, eggs, cheese, or cow’s milk. They’re chocked full of essential fatty acids, tons of vitamin; and a multitude of minerals. Their complex carbohydrate helps to regulate blood sugar; promote weight loss and they’re an anti-inflammatory food.
Our mission – to Provide Better Access to Better Healthful Food Choices
It started in 2008 with a goal to feed my family hemp seeds. I began modifying some old family recipes to include hemp seed foods. It soon became our family business. Better Option Foods means EVERY ingredient matters.
We know the best tasting varieties of hemp seeds and we use only North American grown hemp. All our ingredients have been carefully selected and sourced, right down to the mineralized salt and low sodium baking powder. You’ll not only taste the difference, you’ll feel the difference.
Hemp seed are not only healthy; they support many dietary choices and needs. They fit vegan, vegetarian, keto, paleo, Macro dieting, gluten free needs, and just plain ole eating. They’re super delicious and easy to include into daily eating. They're healthy; but they don't taste healthy!
Eating hemp seeds won’t make you high or cause you to fail a drug test. Hemp seeds are not a source of THC, CBD or other phytocannabinoids. They’re a seed food packed with nutrition and they’ve been legal to buy, sell and eat in the United States since 1998. A true Superfood!
With the planet facing food vs. people issues; the hemp plant deserves respect for its sustainability. Not only for nutrition; the hemp plant can provide renewable raw materials and non-toxic alternative to plastic, textiles, fuel, paper and building materials. The hemp plant sequesters carbon and out produces tree cellulose 4:1. Hemp cultivation can remediate and regenerate depleted, compacted soil.
Healthy People. Healthy Earth. Hemp can Help!

After discovering the nutrition in hemp seeds in 2008; it started with a goal to feed my family hemp seeds. I began modifying some old family recipes to include hemp seed foods. It soon became our family business.
Originally we were known as Cousin Mary Jane; that logo is a caricature of our daughter Kaycie. Cousin Mary Jane moved on to becoming an ambassador for hemp. She was dedicated in educating people about hemp seed nutrition and the benefits of industrial hemp as an agricultural commodity. The 2018 Farm Bill Bill signed by President Trump finally removed hemp from the Control Substance List; a long overdue necessity to federally open U.S. farm fields for hemp farming. (Did you know Detroit's own Henry Ford built an automobile out of hemp?)
Over the years we've changed our look & name, but our mission and core values are still the same. Lady Jane is now Better Option Foods in-keeping with our original mission statement. All our gluten free, high protein products are made using only North American grown hemp seeds.
Eat Better. Feel Better. You're Worth It!
