Hemp protein is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all eight of the essential amino acids the human body cannot produce itself. While other plant protein sources also contain all eight essential amino acids, hemp seeds contain them in amounts comparable to non-vegetarian protein sources such as milk or beef. The total protein content of hemp seeds is comparable to that of soybeans and superior to the protein content of nuts and even some meat and dairy products.

Hello Jared,
Egg and Whey are the highest in BV, PER and NPU scale. Each type of protein serve a different purpose and digestibility for each individual. Personally, hemp would not be my first choice.
Here are some helpful links:

Hope this Helps!

I'm not at all familiar with Hemp protein. I do trust the Livestrong website on this, however.
I feel confident in saying that any Registered Dietitian would tell you that a great protein is going to be a complete protein.
Whey protein, casein powder (derived from milk), egg whites, soy. These are all complete proteins. Different proteins have different benefits. Your question would be better answered by a Registered Dietitian, but I think you'll find that if you do a google search and stick to the professional or academic results, you will get some great information!

I like this article on different protein types it's a lot of helpful information but the sources are not cited. http://www.nutribodyprotein.com/protein-types.php
It suggests that the protein in hemp is good for building antibodies more so than muscles. It basically promotes rice and yellow pea protein as the best overall option based on allergies, bioavailability, price, balance/completeness, etc.
