Organic Shelled Hemp Seeds

Hemp seeds are the edible seeds of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa L.). They are small, light brown, and have a mild, nutty flavor. The seeds are typically shelled before being used in food products, meaning the outer hull is removed.

Hemp seeds are often added to foods for their nutritional value, providing protein and healthy fats. They can be found in granola bars, energy bars, cereals, and as a topping for salads and yogurt. Their mild flavor makes them versatile in various food applications.

Hemp seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and essential fatty acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated hemp seeds and their derivatives. Evidence suggests they may contribute to heart health due to their fatty acid profile, but more research is ongoing.
