Including hemp in your diet is a great way to include plant-based protein, including Omega 3 and Omega 6 in the perfect 3:1 ration. 

It’s also a good way to include fibre, magnesium, zinc and iron, as well as free radical fighting antioxidants. These can reduce cholesterol and may also help to stabilise blood sugar.

As well as being all natural, vegan, gluten and GM free, they also have no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Our hulled Hemp Hearts are high in protein and packed with nutrition, with a five-star health rating.

A quick and easy way to add flavour and this superior nutrition on the side of a meal is to dollop spoonfuls of this Hemp Hearts and Lemon Hummus recipe onto the plate.
