Shelled organic hemp seeds with 34 g protein per 100 g

Hemp seeds are among the most protein-rich plant-based foods there are. Shelled, they taste mild and nutty, similar to pine nuts, and can be used without preparation.

Shelled or unshelled

Unshelled hemp seeds have a hard, fibrous hull that crunches unpleasantly when chewed. Shelling removes it, leaving the soft seed kernel.

Food-grade hemp is not an intoxicant. For food products, only approved industrial hemp varieties are grown, with THC content limited by law. The seed itself naturally contains practically no THC.

Our hemp seeds come from EU agriculture and controlled organic farming, certified according to the EU Organic Regulation, inspection body number DE-ÖKO-039.

Nutritional values and use

Per 100 g, the shelled seeds contain 34.3 g protein and 43.5 g fat, of which only 4 g are saturated fatty acids. Carbohydrates are 6.4 g, and fiber is 3.8 g. The energy value is 2,351 kJ, or 562 kcal.

That means around 25 percent of the energy value comes from protein. The EU threshold for a high-protein claim is 20 percent.

Shelled hemp seeds need no preparation. They are great on salads, yogurt, and porridge, in smoothies, or as an ingredient in bread and baked goods. They should only be heated briefly, as the fatty acids are delicate.

Organic hemp seeds: origin and quality

One ingredient only: shelled organic hemp seeds. No additives, no oil, no salt. Due to the high fat content, cool storage in the resealable stand-up pouch is recommended. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Behind Vitalplant is Christian Lazar, a licensed pharmacist with over 35 years of professional experience at Stern Apotheke.

A Plant, Three Harvests

Hemp provides fiber, seeds, and flowers, and depending on the goal, it is grown very differently. For fiber, the plant is sown densely and cut before flowering; for seeds, it is spaced farther apart and grown to maturity.

The fiber sits in the bast, the bark of the stem, and for centuries it was the material for ropes and sailcloth. The English word canvas comes from the same root word as Cannabis. Botanically, hemp seed is not actually a seed, but a nut fruit with a hard shell.

What industrial hemp is legally

For cultivation in the EU, only varieties listed in a separate variety catalog are approved. The key factor is the plant's THC content; since the last reform, it has been capped at 0.3 percent, previously it was 0.2 percent.

Farmers must use certified seed and register the crop, including inspections. The seed itself practically produces no THC anyway; any traces come at most from flower pollen clinging from outside and are largely removed by shelling.

An unusual fatty acid profile

Around 80 percent of the fat in hemp seed is polyunsaturated, which is rare among edible seeds. What is especially notable is the ratio: linoleic acid from the omega-6 series and alpha-linolenic acid from the omega-3 series are roughly three to one.

There is also a small amount of gamma-linolenic acid, which otherwise occurs only rarely in foods and is otherwise best known from evening primrose and borage oil. Because polyunsaturated fatty acids are sensitive, shelled hemp seeds should be stored cool and dark, not next to the stove.

Compared with other seeds

At 34 g protein per 100 g, shelled hemp seeds are ahead of pumpkin seeds at around 30 g and well ahead of sunflower seeds, almonds, and chia seeds, all of which reach about 21 g.

If you know hemp protein as a powder: that is something different. It is made from the press cake left over after oil extraction, which makes it low in fat and even higher in protein. The whole shelled seed, by contrast, still contains the oil, and that is exactly what makes it a food rather than a raw material.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pure as a snack, as a topping for yogurt, porridge, or salad, in a smoothie, or for baking. Because the seeds are hulled, you do not need to soak or grind them. Sprinkled over a finished dish, they keep their nutty crunch.

No. Edible hemp comes from approved industrial hemp varieties whose THC content is strictly limited by law. In addition, the seeds themselves naturally do not produce THC; it is found in the resin glands of the flowers and leaves. Shelled seeds, from which the outer husk has been removed, are even further removed from that.

Mild and nutty, most similar to sunflower seeds or pine nuts. Shelled, they are soft and easy to chew without resistance. Unshelled hemp seeds, by contrast, are significantly harder and have a fibrous shell.

The hard outer shell has been mechanically removed, leaving the soft, cream-colored kernel. This makes the seeds much more pleasant to eat and the contents easier to access. The trade-off: shelled seeds are more sensitive to oxygen and light than unshelled ones because they lack their natural protection.

Brief heating is unproblematic, for example when baking them into dough. They are less suitable for intense, long frying: hemp seeds contain a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and these do not tolerate heat well. They are best added raw to the finished dish.

Yes, from controlled organic cultivation with the origin label EU agriculture. Industrial hemp grows well in Central Europe and requires little crop protection, which makes it suitable for organic cultivation. The ingredients list has exactly one item.

Keep cool, dark, and tightly sealed. Because of their high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, shelled hemp seeds will eventually go rancid if left warm and uncovered. After opening, the refrigerator is the safest place to store them. If they smell strong or bitter, they should no longer be eaten.

250 g in a resealable stand-up pouch. For a topping, one to two tablespoons per serving is enough, so the pouch lasts a while. No flavors, no added sugar, nothing but shelled hemp seeds.
