What Are Hemp Seeds?

Hemp Seeds, also known as hemp hearts, are the seeds of the hemp plant.

Industrial Hemp production uses the same plant that produces cannabis, but the varieties used for the production of hemp seeds contain almost no THC, the psychoactive substance of the plant (typically 0.3%).

As a result, consuming even large amounts of hemp seeds has absolutely no psychotropic effects.

How Can Hemp Seeds Be Eaten?

Hemp hearts can be eaten in many different ways:

Raw
Ground into hemp meal
Sprouted
Turned into Hemp Milk
Pressed into Hemp Oil
Turned into Hemp Seed Butter

As a result, they are an ingredient as versatile as peanuts.
