Organic Hemp Hearts

Answer: “Green hull” refers to the inner seed membrane remaining on hemp hearts — it contains chlorophyll, magnesium, and other nutrients. It also affects color and flavor. We offer 4 grades: <5% (white, premium appearance for retail), 5-10% (versatile, most popular), 10-15% (rustic look, bold flavor), and 15-20% (high chlorophyll, nutritional density). Choose based on your product positioning and target market.

Answer: Organic hemp hearts are grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or GMO technology — supervised by USDA/EU organic certification bodies throughout the supply chain. Compared to conventional hemp hearts, organic products have zero pesticide residue risk, commanding a 15-30% retail premium in the US and EU markets. Health-conscious consumers actively seek organic certification as a trust signal.

Answer: Absolutely not. Our hemp hearts are sourced from certified industrial hemp (THC < 0.2%). After dehulling, THC content is reduced to ppm-level (parts per million) — scientifically impossible to produce any psychoactive effect. Our products are third-party lab tested, THC: ND (Not Detected), and fully compliant with US FDA, EU EFSA, and Chinese food regulations.

Answer: Yes. Hemp Hearts are recognized as a complete protein by the US FDA, containing all 9 essential amino acids. The PDCAAS score is approximately 0.86 — comparable to most legume proteins. Approximately 65% is Edestin protein (easily digestible, globular structure similar to human blood albumin), making it gentle on the stomach and suitable for elderly, children, and individuals with sensitive digestive systems.

Answer: Store in a cool, dry place at 18-25°C, away from direct light, in airtight sealed packaging. Omega-3 fatty acids are sensitive to light, heat, and oxygen — proper storage is essential. Once opened, consume promptly. Shelf life: 12 months from production date when stored correctly. For extended shelf life, nitrogen-flush packaging is available (custom order).

Answer: Yes, but avoid heating above 180°C. Exceeding this temperature accelerates Omega-3 oxidation, reducing nutritional value and creating rancid flavor. Best practices: ① Raw — sprinkle on salads, yogurt, oatmeal bowls ② Low-temperature baking — up to 150°C ③ Add after cooking — pasta, stir-fry (add at the end) ④ Hemp milk — can be heated to 80°C for pasteurization.

Answer: Hemp hearts are seeds, not tree nuts — they belong to a different botanical family. Most individuals with tree nut allergies can safely consume hemp hearts. Our product is naturally free of gluten, soy, and dairy. However, individuals with rare Cannabis sativa plant allergies should avoid. Children, pregnant, or nursing individuals should consult a physician before consumption.

Answer: “Hemp Hearts” (hulled hemp seeds) have the hard outer shell removed, while “hemp seeds” retain the shell. Key differences: Hemp Hearts have higher protein concentration (30%+ vs ~20%), more concentrated healthy fats, and a smoother texture. Hemp seeds (with hull) contain approximately 25% dietary fiber — better for high-fiber diets. In summary: Hemp Hearts = protein & fat focus; Whole Seeds = fiber focus.

Answer: Samples: Email sales@hemp-land.com with your requirements — specify green hull grade and packaging. We provide 100-200g free samples (shipping only). MOQ for bulk: 100kg for trial orders; 1+ ton for bulk pricing. A 20ft container holds approximately 12 tons. Bulk discounts available for orders above 5 tons.

Answer: Conventional hot dehulling operates at 60-80°C, which destroys 40%+ of Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, causes fat oxidation (rancid flavor), and denatures proteins (reducing digestibility). Our patented “Low-Impact” cold dehulling technology maintains temperatures below 38°C throughout the process, preserving 95%+ of Omega-3 bioactivity while achieving 99.9% purity — an industry-leading result no competitor has matched.

Answer: Yes, hemp hearts are safe and beneficial for dogs and cats. The Omega-3 (ALA) content supports coat health, joint mobility, and anti-inflammatory responses. THC content is ppm-level — completely safe. Recommended addition rate: 3-8% in dog/cat food formulas. Do not confuse Hemp Hearts with CBD/THC oils — they are entirely different products with different safety profiles.

Answer: Hemp hearts are classified as seeds, not nuts or legumes. They are naturally free of: gluten, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, dairy, eggs, and fish. Our facility processes hemp only — no cross-contamination risk from common allergens. However, our facility also processes other seeds; please contact us if you require a full allergen statement or dedicated production line.
