    FAQs about Hemp Hearts

    What do hemp hearts taste like?

    Hemp hearts have a mild, nutty flavor that's often compared to sunflower seeds or pine nuts. Their subtle taste makes them a great addition to both sweet and savory recipes without overpowering other flavors.

    Are hemp hearts safe for people with nut allergies?

    Yes, hemp hearts are a safe alternative for people with nut allergies, as they are seeds, not nuts.

    What are the nutritional benefits of hemp hearts?

    Yes! Hemp hearts are rich in healthy fats, particularly omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which support heart health. They're also an excellent source of protein, making them ideal for vegans and vegetarians. Additionally, hemp hearts are packed with fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium, iron, and vitamin E.
