What it is
Shelled hemp seed comes from the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa L.), a variety of the cannabis plant bred to have very low levels of THC, the psychoactive compound. The seeds are removed from the fibrous outer hull, leaving the nutrient-rich kernel. They are often eaten raw or lightly toasted.
Why it's used
Hemp seeds are used as a nutritional ingredient, adding protein and healthy fats. They are commonly found in plant-based beverages, granola, energy bars, and as a topping for salads and yogurt. Their mild, nutty flavor complements many foods.
Health notes
Hemp seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. JECFA has evaluated hemp seeds and their derivatives. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Hemp seeds are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They are also gluten-free.
