Hemp hearts
I'm pretty surprised at how few people have heard of or are eating these. I would suppose these are a bit harder to acquire in the United States though..
Hemp Hearts (Shelled Hemp Seed) is the only natural food that is concentrated with all of the required proteins and all of the essential fats, as well as many vitamins and enzymes, but contains only insignificant quantities of saturated fats and carbohydrates.

*Is a complete protein source--much more balanced & digestible than Soy products.
*Contains about 47% oil, 78% of which is omega 3 & 6--the essential fats.
*Contains all the essential or omega fats required for human health.
*Contains several times more omega 3 essential fat than any fish.
*Provides more energy than energy bars--without their sugar and with much less saturated fat.

Beware of Hemp Protein and Hemp Flour. These competing products are made by grinding the wastes which remain after the valuable oil has been extracted from whole hemp seeds. They are mostly shells
buy them, eat them, love them.
