Shelled seeds

Shelled hemp seeds

Shelled hemp seeds are another product derived from top-quality raw hemp seeds for sowing. They are also known as hemp hearts. The finest seeds are used to produce hemp hearts, undergoing a sorting process before shelling. During this process, small, poorly filled seeds containing a number of quality defects are separated out and used as animal feed. Meanwhile, large, fully filled seeds are subjected to the process of removing the seed coat (the shelling process), producing shelled seeds.

Hemp hearts have become very popular recently due to their nutritional value. As already mentioned, these are seeds that have been cleaned of their shells, making them easier for the body to digest. Shelled hemp seeds are easier to consume than traditional seeds with a coating and can be added to many dishes. They contain about 35% protein, fiber, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and many other nutrients essential for development, such as magnesium and iron. Ultimately, shelled hemp seeds are now readily available to consumers and can be a great way to enrich your diet and improve your physical condition. 

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, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They work best for preparing various types of salads, soups, smoothies, or as an addition to yogurts or muesli. They can also be added to baked goods such as bread or cakes. They are characterized by a low sugar content. They also do not contain gluten. It is again worth paying particular attention to the content of unsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, whose ratio in hemp protein is 1:3. They also 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.

They are also ideal for vegans and vegetarians as they contain all the essential exogenous amino acids.
