What it is
Hearty Hemp Seed Hearts are the shelled kernels of the hemp seed. They are a plant-based food product known for their mild, nutty flavor and soft texture. These hearts are a convenient way to incorporate hemp into your diet. The seeds are carefully processed to remove the outer shell, leaving the tender inner part ready for consumption.

Hearty Hemp Seed Hearts are ready to eat straight from the package. You can sprinkle them generously over your morning oatmeal or yogurt for added texture and flavor. They are also excellent when added to homemade granola or energy bars. In savory dishes, they can be incorporated into salad dressings, sprinkled over roasted vegetables, or mixed into grain bowls.
