Looking for a way to get more healthy fats, protein and magnesium into your diet? 

Look no further than hemp hearts (aka hemp seeds)! 

Often titled a nutritional powerhouse, hemp hearts offer an easy way to add extra nutrients to just about any meal, including fussy kids!

Vasse Valley's premium, 100% Australian grown raw, hulled hemp hearts have a mild, nutty flavour similar to cashew or pine nuts. 

Hemp hearts are one of the best sources of healthy fats and plant-based protein on offer today and are a good alternative to nuts for those suffering from allergies.

Gluten-free and vegan friendly, raw hemp hearts also contain vitamin E, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulphur, calcium, iron and zinc.

In fact, 1 tablespoon of hemp hearts can provide 200% of your daily omega 3 requirements and 30% of your magnesium requirements!

How to use hemp hearts:

Sprinkle on salads and soups, add to smoothies, muesli, granola, yoghurt, raw slices, protein balls or mash into nut butter.

Ingredients: 100% Australian grown, hulled hemp seed

FAQs

Are there any known allergens in your products?

All of our products are free from dairy, eggs, gluten.

For those with nut allergies, the hemp hearts, protein and oil are processed in a facility that ONLY processes hemp. These products should be safe for you to eat. Our Roasted Range (Dukkah, Salad Sprinkle, Crumble) either contain or may contain traces of sesame, almonds and other nuts.

For those with allergies to fragrances, in particular Linalool and Limonene, it is best to either avoid using the Terpene Tonics or use with caution.

Hemp, like many natural products, has the potential to be an allergen for some individuals, although it's relatively uncommon compared to more prevalent allergens like peanuts, dairy, or shellfish.

For individuals trying hemp products for the first time or those who suspect they may have a food allergy, it's wise to start with small amounts and monitor for any adverse reactions. If you suspect you have an allergy to hemp or experience unexpected symptoms after consuming hemp products, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper testing and guidance.

What are the benefits of omega 3?

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential polyunsaturated fats that play a crucial role in maintaining overall health. There are three main types of omega-3 fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Some key benefits include heart health, brain health, reduced inflammation, immune support, eye health, joint health, mood and mental health, skin health and pregnancy health.

Are terpenes or hemp safe for kids, breastfeeding or pregnancy?

Terpenes are in most fruit and vegetables and are generally recognised as safe. While some terpenes may have potential health benefits, the safety of using terpene products, especially in concentrated forms, on children is not well-studied. Therefore, we do not recommend using the terpenes for children under 12.

Likewise for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Due to lack of data it is safest not to use these products.

Hemp seed is safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and for kids from the moment they start eating solids. Hemp seeds are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for brain development in infants.

How do I include hemp in my diet?

Hemp seed is a wonderfully versatile ingredient, suitable for both savoury and sweet meals. The traditional hemp seeds (hearts) are mild, nutty and small so can easily be incorporated into cereals, salads, baking etc. They are tiny nutritional powerhouses and easy to sneak into kids' meals. You will find a wide range of hemp food products available on the market today, from nut butters to milk alternatives. At Vasse Valley, we stock the traditional hearts, oil, capsules and protein powder as well as our award winning roasted hemp seed condiments, including a dukkah and salad sprinkle.
