## About
A bowl of yogurt by the window, a spoonful of small ivory-green seeds scattered on top, and a soft, buttery bite that tastes faintly of pine nuts. Hemp hearts are hemp seeds hulled clean of their shell, so there is no husk to crack and no bitterness to work around.Hemp has been grown for food, fiber and oil across Asia and Europe for thousands of years. The seed is an old plant food, valued for a rare completeness among plant proteins: all nine essential amino acids are present, along with a generous share of magnesium and iron. These seeds are hulled mechanically, not with solvents, which keeps their natural oils intact and gives them their soft, almost creamy bite. Their color shifts from pale sage to deeper olive with each season's harvest.DetailsShelled hemp seeds, mechanically hulledAbout one third protein, with all nine essential amino acidsStorage: refrigerate once openedHow to useScatter two or three tablespoons over yogurt, oatmeal or a salad; they need no soaking, grinding or cooking. Keep the bag refrigerated once opened, because the same soft oils that make them pleasant to eat also turn quickest.An unassuming little seed for an easy daily habit.
