H**p seed hearts, the soft inner part of h**p seeds with the shell removed, are celebrated for their exceptional nutritional profile. A 3-tablespoon serving provides about 10 grams of protein, more than an egg, and includes all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein ideal for vegetarians and vegans. They are rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in a balanced ratio, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. Additionally, they offer fiber for digestion, vitamins like E, and minerals such as magnesium and iron. Their antioxidant properties may help combat oxidative stress, potentially benefiting skin and overall health. With a mild, nutty flavor, theyβre easy to add to smoothies, salads, or baked goods.

H**p, a variety of Cannabis sativa with less than 0.3% THC, is non-psychoactive and used in various food products. These include whole h**p seeds and hearts, h**p oil for cooking or supplements, h**p protein powder for smoothies, h**p milk as a dairy alternative, and h**p flour for baking. CBD-infused foods, like beverages and snacks, are also emerging, though their legality varies globally. Unlike ma*****na, h**p foods donβt cause a βhigh,β making them a safe, nutritious option for many diets.
While h**p seeds are often referred to as "seeds" in a culinary context, technically, they are classified as a type of nut called an achene. This means they are a simple, dry fruit with a single seed where the outer shell is closely attached to the seed. Despite this, they are not considered "tree nuts" and are safe for people with tree nut allergies.
