What are organic hemp seeds?
Organic Hemp Seeds are sourced from certified organic hemp plants, carefully harvested and cleaned to ensure the highest quality. Unlike hemp hearts, these are the whole, intact seeds, offering both the crunchy outer shell (hull) and the soft inner kernel. This provides a comprehensive nutritional profile, including both soluble and insoluble fiber from the hull, alongside the potent proteins and healthy fats of the kernel. With a delightful nutty flavor and satisfying crunch, Organic Hemp Seeds are a highly functional ingredient for diverse food applications.
Discover the pure, wholesome nutrition of Organic Hemp Seeds, an incredibly versatile and sustainable superfood. These tiny, crunchy seeds are a powerhouse of complete plant-based protein, healthy Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, dietary fiber, and essential minerals. Our Organic Hemp Seeds are an ideal ingredient for manufacturers looking to enhance the nutritional profile, texture, and appeal of a wide array of food, beverage, and snack products, while meeting the growing demand for clean-label and plant-forward options.
