Endless Uses for Hemp Seeds

Seeds from the hemp plant (cannabis sativa) are naturally loaded with nutritional value, boasting all of the essential amino acids and fatty acids the body needs. These whole hemp seeds arrive with their hulls and shells intact, but once you crack into them, you'll discover a huge variety of nutritional and medicinal applications.

Snack on the raw seeds throughout the day, toss them into salads or substitute them for nuts in your favorite baking recipes. If you're looking for an alternative to dairy milk, try blending one part hemp seed with four parts water to mix up your own hemp milk. You can even buy whole hemp seeds to make your own soothing skin care solution--try grinding the seeds into paste with a mortar and pestle and mixing it with other natural skin care substances like aloe vera gel or our raw organic cacao butter.

Hemp Seeds: Our Registered Dietitian's Top Pick

Our Registered Dietitian and Health Nut loves these nutrient packed seeds! They have all essential amino acids and healthy fats, and are a great addition to salads, oatmeal, or stir fries, giving them an extra crunch. You can also grind them and add them to a smoothie.

Hemp Seed, Protein Powerhouse

As a dietary supplement, hemp seed is valued for its nearly perfect balance of essential acids, its rich mineral blend and its hearty helping of simple proteins. Between 1/4 and 1/3 of hemp seed by weight is pure protein, and hemp seed protein is distinctive for being amazingly easy to digest.

It's even a great source of Vitamin E, dietary fiber and important minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc. If you're a flaxseed fan, you may want to buy hemp seeds as a mix-in--when it comes to the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that make flaxseed such a health food staple, the hemp seed is even more potent.

Birds Eat Hemp Seeds, Too

Although us humans love these seeds for their great taste and powerful nutrients, we're not the only ones in on the secret. Pour a few handfuls into your outdoor feeder or just scatter it on the lawn to see what a popular item hemp bird seed really is! You can mix it into your existing bird feed blend to attract a wider variety of species, or just put it out by itself--grosbeaks and cardinals in particular love to eat hemp seeds.

*Per United States regulations, these hemp seeds have been heat sterilized*

It's best to keep hemp seeds refrigerated in an air tight container. If you purchase a 5-pound bag, consider putting 1 pound of the hemp seeds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for daily use and freezing the rest.
