Hemp Hearts and Nubs (Shelled Hemp Seeds)

The high nutritional value of hemp comes from its seeds. Hemp hearts are an easy-to-consume form of hemp seeds where the outer, hard shell is removed. This leaves us with a soft, chewy substance with high nutritional value.

Hemp hearts are a rich source of:

Proteins
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)
Fibre
Dietary Vitamins and Minerals
Essential Components of Hemp Hearts

Proteins
Hemp hearts are a complete source of protein containing all the 9 essential amino acids required by the human body for healthy functioning. The structure of hemp protein is similar to the structure of protein manufactured in the human body. These are, therefore, easy to digest.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)
De-hulled hemp seeds contain essential fatty acids omega-6 and omega-3 in the optimal ratio of 3:1. This helps reduce inflammation in the body thus helping with problems such as arthritis, eczema, and muscle pain.

The anti-inflammatory properties also help regulate the immune system. Hemp hearts also contain GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) that balances hormones in the body and keeps hypertension, heart health, and diabetes in check.

Fibre
Dietary fibres present in hemp hearts regulate blood sugar levels and help maintain healthy gut bacteria. These contain both soluble and insoluble fibres and are easy for the body to process.

Minerals and Vitamins
De-hulled hemp seeds contain dietary minerals and vitamins such as zinc, phosphorus, manganese, and Vitamin E. These have strong antioxidant properties and strengthen the immune system thus helping in preventing sickness and disease.

The Heart of Hemp
Hemp hearts are literally the heart of hemp seeds with health benefits that boost the immune system and strengthen the metabolism. They are a complete source of protein, fibre, and essential nutrients.
