Manitoba Harvest's raw shelled Hemp Hearts may seem small and simple, but they're extremely versatile and beneficial for maintaining good health. Shelled hemp seeds are known to regulate weight loss and blood sugar levels, boost energy, as well as reduce cholesterol, blood pressure, inflammation—and that's just for starters.
The seeds may be small, but they're packed with plant-based protein, fiber and more the omegas that you'll find in comparable superfoods like chia or flax seeds. The nutty flavor of the seeds makes them ideal for snacking on right out of the bag, or adding to a range of sweet and savory dishes from breakfast to lunch and dinner. Some of the ways Manitoba Harvest suggests incorporating Hemp Hearts into your diet include sprinkling the seeds over hummus, adding them to a trail mix, smoothies, yogurt, baking or salads.
