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.

Contains more required amino acids (proteins) than milk, meat or eggs.
*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.
*Is suitable for those unable to eat gluten, sugar, milk, nuts & meat.
*Is perfect for those troubled with constipation and for those avoiding carbohydrates.
*A 42 g serving (4 tbsp) contains 240 cal energy from 15 g protein, 15 g polyunsaturated fats ( 11.4 g omega 6 & 3.6 g omega 3), 2.7 g mono-unsaturated fats, 2.1 g saturated fats, 2.5 g fiber, 4.5 g carbohydrates, 2 mg iron, 31 mg calcium, 3.8 mg sodium, 3.8 mg vitamin E, 956 IU vitamin D, .42 mg vitamin C, .05 mg vitamin B6, .14 mg vitamin B2, .58 mg vitamin B1, 1.68 IU vitamin A.
*Every lot can be traced to its source and is laboratory tested to guarantee the absence of contaminants.

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.
