Shelled hemp seeds
Description
Shelled hemp seeds are small, soft, creamy-light bits with a delicate, nutty-buttery flavor and a pleasant, slightly creamy texture that does not overpower the dish. They have a subtle aroma, making them easy to incorporate into various flavor compositions. They are a complete source of plant protein containing all essential amino acids, a wealth of unsaturated fatty acids (including a beneficial omega-6 to omega-3 ratio), vitamin E, and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and iron. Regular use supports heart health, skin health, muscle recovery, and helps maintain a feeling of fullness. Hemp seeds are great in smoothies, yogurts, salads, muesli, bread, pesto, and dips; they can be ground into flour or added to soups and desserts for a creamy texture. Store in an airtight container, away from light and heat; in a cool place or in the refrigerator, they will stay fresh longer, and in the freezer — for several months.
