Raw Hemp Hearts

Raw Hemp Hearts are hemp seeds with the hull taken off, sold raw. The maker says they taste mild and nutty, like cashew or pine nut, and that they are soft enough to eat without soaking. The only ingredient is Australian-grown, hulled hemp seed, and the maker describes them as gluten free and vegan friendly.

Of the farm's three hemp foods, this is the one you eat as a whole seed. Raw Hemp Protein is the seed milled to a powder after pressing, and Raw Hemp Seed Oil is the pressed oil.

The maker suggests sprinkling them over yoghurt, porridge or muesli, adding them to salads, soups and grain bowls, blending them into smoothies, or baking them into muffins, energy balls and slices. It also suggests blending them with water for homemade hemp milk.

Made by Vasse Valley Hemp Farm, a family hemp farm at North Jindong that began in 2017.
