About Product

Organic Raw Shelled Hemp Seeds have been consumed as a food source for thousands of years.

Hemp seeds were one of the earliest cultivated crops, and evidence of hemp seed as food has been found in ancient Chinese and Middle Eastern civilizations.

Hemp seeds are packed with essential fatty acids, protein, and minerals, making them a popular food source. Organic Hulled Hemp Seeds are produced by removing the seed's outer shell and are often referred to as hemp hearts.

These seeds can be eaten raw or roasted but not sprouted because the outer shell has been removed. Today, hemp seeds are a popular food used for their nourishing properties and to add nutrition and flavor to many recipes.

Hemp seeds can be used in various ways, from smoothies and salads to baking and cooking. They are also used as a vegan substitute for cheese and as an alternative to flax or chia seeds.

Some research suggests that Hemp seeds may contain the following constituents:

Protein, Carbohydrate, Fiber

Minerals: Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper, Manganese
Vitamins: Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Beta carotene, Vitamin E
Amino Acids: Alanine, Lysine, Arginine, Methionine, Aspartic Acid, Phenylalanine, Cystine, Proline, Glutamic Acid, Serine, Glycine, Threonine, Histidine, Tryptophan, Isoleucine, Tyrosine, Leucine, Valine

Powerhouse!

These are amazing! I love that they are not only organic, but raw as well. They have a great nutty flavor, nice texture and blend beautifully when making hemp milk. Hemp also has a great omega 3-6-9 profile, good protein and healthy fat. A true superfood!
