Okay, the team here at Nashville Nutrition and Emotional Wellness  "NNEW" is what we refer to ourselves sometimes cause it is easier to say and we are all new...LOL..  has had an on going experiment with Hemp Hearts....  Things are looking okay as the research goes....  I would love to hear from anyone who has had first hand experience with Hemp Hearts.....Just remember we like to keep it natural here and we like to keep it real....



Okay all my Vanderbilt research buddies...  how do you weigh in on Hemp Hearts?

It has been touted that Hemp Hearts are the most concentrated and best balanced source of protein, essential fats, and vitamins in nature....

Pre-op I brought a sample packet and literature I had received from a local health food store to Jamie her opinion was it was to high in calories for the protein gain and was concerned about the granular consistency. That's all I know?? C'ya

Good Morning Bob,  



You know that is the one surprising detail about this natural protein, the high calorie factor.  I think that would be interesting to learn more about why that is and how our bodies can use that to our advantage.  Lemme ask you, did the health food store give you the sample package or did they have small sample packages for purchase?  I learned about these while out of state at a health food store and they only had large vats available for purchase.

Trina,
Found them at a local Vitamin Shop here in Clarksville in the Kholl's Plaza across from the mall. She had it in small 2"x 2" packets to try, this was about 8 months ago with a write up about it. After Jamie said she thought it being higher in calorie then beneficial I didn't pursue it? C'ya

This is what I've come up with, Humm,very interesting, One place said they would send samples, that's a thought??I know go back and read more Barb but here's what I've found so far:

33% Protein, 9% Omega-3, & Rich in Vitamin E

Now certified organic. Hemp is a gift of nature and a complete protein. Enjoy the world’s most nutritious seeds, either plain or as a delicious condiment. Shelled hempseeds (“hemp nut") are 33% digestible pure protein, are rich in vitamin E, magnesium, as well as Omega-3 (ALA) and Omega-6 (LA) — the essential fatty acids (EFAs) doctors recommend.

Unlike flax, hemp contains valuable Super Omega-3 (SDA) and Super Omega-6 (GLA), which help our bodies metabolize fat.

To ensure the highest nutritional quality, a mechanical cold-shelling process removes the hempseed’s hard outer shells, yielding a 100% raw gourmet superfood that tastes like pine nuts.

Eat 2-4 tablespoons daily by adding to cereal, omlets, yogurt, soups, snacks, smoothies, salads, pasta, veggies, dressings, and desserts. Consider making fresh hemp milk in your blender, or lightly pan-toast the seeds — but not above 325°F, to conserve the EFAs.

Canadian farmers grow this hemp without pesticides or herbicides which makes this product safer for you and the planet! Growing hemp (a nonpsychoactive crop) restores our soils and conserves forests, contributing to a healthy and sustainable world.
