Hemp Seeds

Hemp Seeds are exceptionally nutritious  rich in healthy fats, protein  various minerals. Containing over 30% fat all 9 essential fatty acids, they are exceptionally rich in two in particular, linolenic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA, (omega-3). Around 25% of their total calories are from high quality protein, so they are a great source of protein for those avoiding animal products. By comparison, <a href="https://tastespice.tempurl.host/shop/chia-seeds">Chia Seeds</a> <a href="https://tastespice.tempurl.host/shop/flax-seeds">Flax Seeds</a> have levels of around 15-18%. In fact, by weight, Hemp Seeds contain similar levels of protein to beef! They are also considered a complete protein source, meaning they provide all the essential amino acids. Such complete protein sources are rare in the plant kingdom as plants often lack the amino acid lysine. Hulled hemp seeds have had their fibre-rich shell removed so contain very little fibre. Because of this, we only use whole seeds. Add to muesli, salads, snack on them in fruit nut mixes, use in salad dressings or even baking. Volume: 56g resealable pot. Shelf life 12-18 months. There's no need to refrigerate, though they will last longer than in the cupboard.
