Also known as hemp hearts, hulled hemp seeds are the soft inner seed kernels of the Cannabis sativa plant. Their outer shells, or hulls, have been removed for easier digestion. Since hemp hearts are only derived from the seeds of the hemp plant, they are naturally free of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound present in cannabis.

Health benefits of hulled hemp seeds**
Support healthy cardiovascular function – A report in the Nutrition and Metabolism Journal found that hemp seeds are among the few natural sources that have the ideal ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for optimal heart health. Hemp seeds also contain plenty of heart-healthy nutrients like fiber and potassium. They also contain arginine and other amino acids.
Support healthy joint function and mobility – Studies show that hemp seeds contain high levels of antioxidants, such as phytol, phytosterols, phenolic compounds and vitamin E. All of these powerful antioxidants can help protect your joints and tendons from oxidative stress and support their optimal health.
Support healthy digestive function – Hemp seeds are an excellent source of both insoluble and soluble dietary fiber, which support a healthy digestive system and promote normal bowel movements. Hulled hemp seeds are also very easy to digest because they have already had their tough outer shell removed.
Support the growth of healthy skin – Hemp seeds are loaded with antioxidants that can protect your skin against damage from free radicals and promote its overall health. Additionally, the fatty acids in hemp seeds can also help nourish your skin.
Support healthy immune function – Hemp seeds are one of the best natural sources of globulin, a protein that plays an important role in maintaining the optimal health of your immune system. Hemp seeds are also packed with immune-supporting essential fatty acids and antioxidants.
Support reasonable weight management plans – The rich protein and fiber content of hemp seeds make them very filling, which may help you feel full for a longer period of time. This means that hemp seeds can be useful in helping you achieve your sensible weight management goals when accompanied by a well-balanced diet and regular exercise.
Help maintain healthy energy levels – Hemp seeds are filled with energy-supporting nutrients that help fuel your body. These nutrients include iron, protein, magnesium and essential fatty acids, which contain twice as much energy as carbohydrates.
How to enjoy hulled hemp seeds
Hemp seeds have a pleasant nutty flavor, which tastes like a cross between macadamia nuts, pine nuts, and sunflower seeds. While hemp seeds can be eaten raw, they are often roasted or baked into breads, pancakes, muffins and other baked goods. They taste great when sprinkled on shakes, smoothies, yogurts, ice creams, cereals, salads, sandwiches and couscous, quinoa or rice dishes. Hemp seeds can also be added to chowders, stews, casserole dishes, pasta sauces, homemade granola mixes and trail mixes. If you want to try something new, you can even use hemp seeds to make your very own homemade hemp nut butter or hemp milk.
