Hemp Connect - Hemp Hearts
Bring a burst of protein into every meal with Hemp Connect’s popular, versatile Hemp Hearts.
Perfect for those of us who are on-the-go and need a boost of feel-good energy. The hemp hearts are a good source of protein which is necessary for tissue building and repair and contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle.
Hemp is known as the world's most nutritious seed thanks to its balanced nutrition profile with over 30% protein and 30% poly-unsaturated fatty acids. A source of omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, our hemp hearts are also good sources of vitamins and minerals including magnesium, folate, iron, selenium and zinc.
Hemp hearts are your go-to everyday superfood. Add a cup to smoothies, bliss balls, cereals, yoghurts, salads, stews and pasta sauces. Try one of our favourites – toast hemp hearts in a fry pan to enhance that beautiful nutty flavour.

How they are made
We crack and remove the outer shell (husk) from whole hemp seeds before extracting the hemp heart (or dehulled hemp seeds). We select the best hemp hearts based on weight and structure, before sorting for purity and colour.
Recommended intake
Use one cup of hemp hearts in baking, smoothies, cereals, yoghurts, salads, stews and pasta sauces.
