Organic Hemp Seeds

Answer: Whole hemp seeds retain their hard outer shell, providing significantly higher dietary fiber (25-30% vs 4-6% in hemp hearts). Hemp hearts (hulled seeds) have the shell removed, concentrating protein to 30%+ and fat to 48-55%. Choose whole seeds for: fiber enrichment, oil extraction, sprouting. Choose hemp hearts for: protein shakes, nutrition bars, clean-label beverages. Both are complete proteins with all 9 essential amino acids.

Answer: Per 100g whole hemp seeds: Protein ≥22%, Total Fat 30-35g (including 8g Omega-3 ALA and 20g Omega-6 LA), and Dietary Fiber 25-30g. The fat content delivers a naturally balanced 3:1 Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio — the same as breast milk and recognized by nutritionists as optimal for cardiovascular health. Each batch COA (Certificate of Analysis) is available upon request with exact figures.

Answer: Our organic hemp seeds are sourced from certified industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L., food-grade varieties). THC content is at ppm levels — third-party lab tested, THC: ND (Not Detected). They are 100% legal for food use in the US, EU, UK, Australia, and most global markets. They will not cause psychoactive effects and will not trigger a positive drug test. COA documentation available confirming THC compliance.

Answer: Yes. Hemp seeds contain all 9 essential amino acids, classifying them as a complete plant protein — a rare distinction in the plant kingdom (most plants lack one or more essential amino acids). The PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) is approximately 0.63-0.66 for whole seeds. While slightly lower than hemp hearts (due to the hull reducing digestibility), they provide superior fiber alongside the protein benefit.

Answer: Our organic whole hemp seeds have an oil content of ≥30%, with a bulk density of 620-680 g/L — optimized for industrial cold-press operations. Typical cold-press oil recovery rate is 25-28% by weight (depending on press type, pressure, and temperature settings). The resulting pressed cake retains 15-20% protein and is suitable for hemp protein powder production — maximizing by-product value.

Answer: We offer an optional germination rate specification of ≥85% for customers using hemp seeds for sprouting, microgreen cultivation, or live food applications. Our seeds are untreated (no heat treatment, no irradiation, no chemical treatment), preserving full germination viability. Hemp sprouts typically reach harvest stage in 7-10 days and provide a concentrated source of enzymes, chlorophyll, and essential nutrients.

Answer: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and strong odors. Recommended temperature: below 20°C. In original sealed 25kg PP bags, shelf life is 18-24 months from production date. For long-term storage (>12 months), consider refrigeration (5-10°C) or freezing (<0°C) to slow fat oxidation. Do not store near aromatic spices or chemicals — hemp seeds readily absorb odors.

Answer: Our organic hemp seeds hold USDA Organic, EU Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, and Halal certifications. We also provide: COA (per batch), heavy metal test (Pb, Cd, Hg, As), pesticide residue test (500+ items ND), aflatoxin test, microbiology test (E. coli negative, Salmonella negative), phytosanitary certificate, and certificate of origin for customs clearance. Contact sales@hemp-land.com for the full documentation package.

Answer: Yes. Hemp seeds are naturally free of gluten, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, dairy, and eggs. Our facility processes hemp products exclusively — minimal cross-contamination risk. However, if your final product requires a certified gluten-free claim, please contact us for a dedicated allergen-free production run and corresponding test reports. We can provide a full allergen statement on request.

Answer: Yes. Organic whole hemp seeds are widely used in premium pet food and animal feed formulations. The Omega-3 (ALA) content supports coat health, joint mobility, and anti-inflammatory response in dogs and cats. Recommended addition rate: 3-8% in pet food. For bird and small animal feed: 5-15%. THC content is ppm-level — completely safe for animals. All relevant certificates (COA, organic, non-GMO) applicable for pet food compliance.

Answer: For in-stock products (standard 3mm grade, 25kg PP bag): 7-15 working days for order processing and shipping documentation. For custom packaging (private label, retail sizes, or large volumes): 15-30 working days. Sea freight transit time varies by destination: US West Coast ~18-22 days, EU ~25-30 days, Southeast Asia ~7-10 days. We provide DHL/FedEx express for samples within 3-5 days globally.
