Hulled Hempseeds Pack a Punch!

Although hemp is becoming more and more well known, the true essence of these little seeds has managed to elude most people. Why have they become so popular?

Hulled hempseeds are the hempseed with the shells removed or “de-hulled”. What you are left with is the “meat” of the hemp which includes both vegan protein and essential fats including valuable omega-3 fatty acid and rare GLA (gamma-linolenic acid). The combination of protein and EFA’s in one source is very powerful.

Hempseeds are a fantastic “functional food.” Functional meaning they are highly nutritious and versatile. They can be incorporated into any diet or lifestyle as they can be sprinkled, mixed and blended into any culinary concoction. Yogurt, cereal, salad, dips, soups, sauces, spreads and smoothies are just a few dishes that can be complimented by the addition of hulled hempseeds. In addition, just 2 tablespoons contain over 60 percent of the recommended daily intake of folic acid.
