Shelled hemp seeds

Shelled hemp seeds are another product made from raw, top-quality hemp seeds for sowing. The finest, most well-developed seeds are used to produce hemp hearts, undergoing a sorting process before shelling. During this process, small, poorly filled seeds with various quality defects are separated out and used for animal feed. Meanwhile, large, fully filled seeds undergo the process of removing the seed coat (the shelling process), producing shelled seeds.

Hemp hearts have become very popular recently, thanks to people who care about their nutrition. As already mentioned, these are seeds that have been cleaned of their hulls, making them easier for the body to absorb. Shelled hemp seeds are easier to eat than traditional seeds with a coating and can be added to many dishes. They are easily digestible. They contain about 35% protein, fiber, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and many other nutrients such as magnesium and iron. Ultimately, shelled hemp seeds are easily accessible and can be a great way to enrich the human diet.

How to use shelled hemp seeds?

Shelled hemp seeds (hemp hearts) are an excellent addition to a healthy diet. They are a rich source of protein, fiber and healthy fats. They work best for preparing various salads, soups, smoothies, or as an addition to yogurt or muesli. They can also be added to baked goods such as bread or cakes. Due to their low sugar content, shelled hemp seeds are an excellent choice for people with diabetes or those wanting to minimize sugar intake. They are also gluten-free. It is worth noting again the content of unsaturated fatty acids, whose ratio in hemp protein is 1:3, which is very beneficial for our nutrition. In addition, they contain many valuable minerals such as magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, calcium, potassium and phosphorus, as well as vitamins E, B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9. This is one reason why hemp protein is gaining popularity among athletes looking for natural ways to increase muscle mass.

They are also ideal for vegans and vegetarians.
