Hemp Hearts – Raw Shelled Hemp Seeds
The hemp heart is the inner kernel of the hemp seed once the outer shell (or hull) has been removed. This process is referred to as de-hulling the hemp seed and is a mechanical process of cracking open the shell, separating and cleaning the inner hearts from the shells.
Hemp hearts are widely accepted as the most popular form of eating hemp foods. The heart is soft, with a light nutty flavor that is enjoyable and comparable to many flavors. Hemp hearts contain the perfect ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 fatty acids and are a complete protein source containing all 21 amino acids.
