Hemp Hearts 1 article
Hemp hearts are the soft inner kernels of hemp seeds after the hard outer hull has been removed. Their mild nutty flavor and ready-to-eat texture make them easy to sprinkle over oatmeal, yogurt, and salads or blend into smoothies without soaking or grinding. The kernels provide plant protein along with omega-6 and omega-3 fats. Compared with whole hemp seeds, hemp hearts are defined by dehulling, while their soft texture differs from gel-forming chia or harder whole seeds.
