HEMP HEARTS - Kosher/Gluten Free
HEMP-5
Description:
Hemp Hearts are considered a gift of nature with their delicious flavor and concentrated nutrition. Hemp Hearts, also known as “hulled hemp seeds” are the shelled seeds of the industrial hemp plant. Soft and creamy in texture, Hemp Hearts offer a sweet and nutty flavor which makes them perfect for blending in smoothies and cereals. They are relatively small, about the size of chopped sesame seeds, and with their mild flavor they can be used as a crunchy topping for fruits, vegetables, and salads.
Not to be mistaken with its cousin, the marijuana plant, the resulting effects of consumption will not be the same. Hemp Hearts are touted as a Super Food because of their complete balance of proteins, essential fats, vitamins, and enzymes. Combined with the absence of sugar, starches, and saturated fats, Hemp Hearts add nutritional flavor to your diet.
Chefs can use Hemp Hearts to accentuate any dish and they may be used in place of pine nuts and sunflower seeds. Prepare breading with Hemp Hearts instead of bread crumbs or use them in soups, pasta, bread or muffins.
