Hemp Seeds – Raw, Organic, Shelled

Organic Raw Shelled Hemp Seeds—also known as hemp hearts—are made by removing the outer shell of the hemp seed to reveal the soft, nutty interior. With a mild flavor and tender texture, they’re easy to enjoy straight from the bag or sprinkled into everyday meals.

These versatile seeds can be added to smoothies, salads, yogurt, and oatmeal, or incorporated into baking and cooking. Convenient and shelf-stable, hemp hearts are a simple way to add flavor and crunch to a wide variety of recipes.

Hemp seed’s popularity has grown in the United States since the early ’90s, but it can be traced back thousands of years to ancient China, Egypt, Persia, and other cultures where it was a highly revered food source.
Hemp seeds can be eaten raw, ground into a meal, made into hemp milk (similar to soy or almond milk), prepared as tea, and used in baking. Hemp seed is a highly nutritious source of protein. Many people think it is better tasting and more digestible than soybean. Hemp seeds are also free of the common allergens associated with soy, dairy, gluten, and tree nuts.
Organic raw hemp seeds are chock full of nutrition and protein by the spoonful. Hemp seeds are one of the world’s most nutritious. They are a source of vitamin E and contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain a healthy body. Adding to the benefit, hemp seed is one of only a few sources of beneficial gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and stearidonic acid (SDA). It has a balanced omega 3 to 6 fats at around a three-to-one ratio.
Protein: Hemp is about 33 percent protein in an easily digestible form that contains ten essential amino acids. This high protein content is comparable to soy and higher than in nuts, other seeds, dairy products, meat, fish, or poultry. Many people also find that hemp seed protein does not cause bloating or gas, like other proteins, shakes may.
Fiber: Hemp seed flour has a fiber content of 40 percent, which is the highest of all flour grains.
Trace Minerals and Antioxidants: Hemp seed is rich in antioxidants such as Vitamin E and minerals including magnesium, iron, and zinc.

Some of the advantages of raw hemp seeds are:
