What are Organic Hemp Hearts?
Organic Hemp Hearts are meticulously produced from 100% pure, organically grown hemp seeds. The process involves carefully selecting and cleaning the seeds, followed by a gentle mechanical dehulling process that removes the hard outer shell, revealing the soft, creamy kernel (the “heart”). This gentle method ensures that the full spectrum of the seed’s delicate nutrients, including its optimal balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, complete protein, and vital minerals, is preserved. The organic certification guarantees that the hemp is cultivated and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, or artificial additives, aligning with strict clean-label and natural ingredient standards. As an added assurance, our hemp hearts are consistently THC-free, complying with all relevant food safety regulations.
Organic Hemp Hearts are highly valued for their unique combination of nutritional potency and versatile application:
- Complete Protein Source: Contain all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein, highly digestible and perfect for plant-based formulations.
- Optimal Omega Fatty Acids: Boast an ideal 3:1 ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 essential fatty acids, crucial for cardiovascular health, brain function, and inflammatory response.
- Rich in Micronutrients: Excellent source of essential minerals like Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, and Manganese, as well as Vitamin E.
- Mild, Nutty Flavor: Offers a pleasant, slightly nutty taste that blends seamlessly into a variety of sweet and savory applications without overpowering other flavors.
- Soft Texture: Their tender, buttery texture makes them easy to incorporate and enjoyable to eat.
With their unparalleled nutritional profile, versatile sensory attributes, and alignment with growing plant-based and clean-label trends, our Organic Hemp Hearts (Hemp Nuts) are the ideal ingredient for manufacturers looking to enhance the functional benefits and market appeal of their products with a pure, transparent, and superior superfood.

FAQs
Q: What is the “green skin” on hemp seed hearts?
A: The “green skin” is the thin, outer layer of the hemp seed that sometimes remains after the hulling process. It contains fiber and contributes to a more pronounced, slightly bitter, and “earthy” flavor.
Q: Are Organic Hemp Seed Hearts a complete protein?
A: Yes, Organic Hemp Seed Hearts are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce on its own.
Q: How should I store Organic Hemp Seed Hearts?
A: To maintain freshness, store your Organic Hemp Seed Hearts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration after opening can help extend their shelf life.
Q: What are the nutritional differences between the different green skin percentages?
A: The primary difference lies in the fiber content and flavor. Higher green skin percentages mean more fiber and a more pronounced, slightly bitter, natural hemp flavor. The core protein and essential fatty acid content remain largely consistent across the grades.
Q: Can people with nut allergies consume Organic Hemp Seed Hearts?
A: Yes, hemp seeds are technically seeds, not nuts. They are generally safe for people with nut allergies. However, if you have severe allergies, it’s always best to consult with your allergist before trying new foods.
