Hamp Hearts also known as shelled hamp seeds are the edible inner part of the hamp seed (Cannebis sativa) that have had their hard outer shells removed. They are a rich source of plant-based protein, healthy fats, and other important nutrients. Hamp hearts are a great source of protein, containing all nine essential amino acids that the body needs but cannot produce on its own. They are also rich in healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, and contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals like iron, magnesium, and zinc.
