HEMP Seeds - SHELLED: a short introduction
Shelled hemp seeds, also called “hemp hearts”, are the edible part of the plant which does not contain any tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - the active substance in the leaves of the plant. Even when raw, hemp hearts are delicious and can be added to salads, yoghurt and cereals.
NUTRITIONAL FACTS
Hemp hearts are a complete protein source, just like chicken, fish and meat, as they contain amino acids. Moreover, 80% of their content is polyunsaturated fatty acids and are an excellent source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to the good health of the heart, the brain and other vital organs. Fish is another omega-3 source and this is why hemp hearts are an excellent alternative for people who cannot consume fish. Other nutrients of hemp hearts include B complex vitamins, vitamin A, E and D, while they are rich in sodium, calcium, natural fiber and iron.
Hemp seeds are beneficial for the bones and joints, boost the immune system and reduce stress. They also help reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, thus reducing the risk for cardiovascular diseases, and help prevent digestive disorders and constipation.
