WHY HEMP?

We love this little seed!

Hemp hearts are another name for hulled hemp seeds. They have an abundant nutrition profile and contain high levels of antioxidants, fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins, not to mention the naturally nutty delicious taste!

Hemp is rich in two essential fatty acids - linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3). The optimal range for essential fatty acids is a 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omego-3, which is what these little beauties contain. They also contain gamma-linolenic acid, which has been linked to heart health.

25% of calories in hemp seeds come from protein, which is high! Just two tablespoons of our Original Hemp Butter provides twelve grams of protein! The digestibility of hemp protein is extremely good so it’s easy on your gut.

Hemp seeds are a complete protein source, which means that they provide all the essential amino acids. This is quite rare in plant based foods! Our bodies can’t produce essential amino acids, so we need to include them in our diet.

We have maintained a high percentage of this beautiful seed in all our hemp seed recipes to give maximum nutrition, while still delivering delicious flavour profiles that the whole family can enjoy. Each jar contains a minimum of 29% hemp seeds and our Original Hemp Butter is almost 100%!
