HEMP HEARTS NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION:
- Hemp is a super plant – with hundreds if not thousands of uses. But, most people are unaware of, or have misconceptions about hemp foods.
- Manitoba Harvest hemp foods pack a nutritional punch – our hemp products, made from the hemp seed, are high in protein and healthy fats. In fact, compared to chia and flax seeds, hemp seeds contain twice the amount of protein and are lower in carbohydrates.
- Manitoba Harvest Organic Hemp Hearts are delicious and versatile – with a deliciously nutty taste and satisfying texture, our Organic Hemp Hearts offer endless possibilities. Sprinkle on snacks, blend into recipes, add texture to baked goods.
- Hemp foods are an excellent superfood – There are so many reasons to embrace hemp foods, everything from the fact that they offer a sustainable farming solution to health benefits to great taste and versatility.
I enjoy Manitoba Harvest hemp seeds pretty much everyday. My favourite way to use hemp seeds is in a smoothie, breakfast bars, topping off a salad, or incorporating in a dessert.
