What are Organic Hemp Hearts?
Organic Hemp Hearts, also known as organic shelled hemp seeds or organic hulled hemp seeds, are the soft inner kernels of the hemp seed. These nutritious seeds are derived from the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa) and are a rich source of plant-based protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. Certified organic by USDA and EU Organic standards, Organic Hemp Hearts are free from pesticides, GMOs, and artificial additives, making them an ideal clean-label ingredient for a variety of food, beverage, and supplement applications.
Hemp Hearts are known for their light, nutty flavor and soft texture, which makes them a versatile addition to smoothies, salads, baking recipes, snack bars, and more. They are an excellent source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, as well as essential amino acids, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
