Omega-3 & Omega-6 Balance: A rare 3:1 fatty acid ratio to fight inflammation and boost heart and brain health. Fiber & Mineral Rich: Packed with magnesium, iron, zinc, and vitamin E for energy, immunity, and glowing skin. Hypoallergenic & Digestible: Gluten-free, dairy-free, and gentle on sensitive stomachs.
Hemp hearts are one of the few plant foods offering
With a mild, buttery flavor and soft crunch, hemp hearts elevate both sweet and savory dishes:
Breakfast Boost: Sprinkle on yogurt, oatmeal, or avocado toast. Baking Buddy: Mix into muffins, granola bars, or pancake batter. Salad Star: Toss with greens, roasted veggies, or grain bowls. Smoothie Secret: Blend into post-gym shakes for creamy texture. Plant-Based Cheese: Blend with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free “Parmesan.”
