About Hemp hearts

Hemp hearts are hulled hemp seeds, used as a topping or mixed into cereals, salads, and other foods. They are sold as small, ready-to-eat seeds, distinct from whole seeds with their outer hulls and from ground hemp-seed flour.

The kernels are soft and tender, with a mild, nutty flavour and a pale cream to light green appearance. They may be sold plain or roasted; the name does not indicate whether a product has been toasted or otherwise processed.
