Hemp Hearts
Hemp hearts are tiny, nutritious seeds that are a powerhouse of nutrition for growing babies. Because of their soft texture, they are an easy way to boost the nutrient content of almost any meal.
How to serve
Sprinkle a small amount onto mashed avocado or fruit purees for added texture.
Stir into yogurt, cottage cheese, or cooked oatmeal for a boost of healthy fats.
Incorporate into muffins, pancakes, or sprinkle over pasta dishes.
Nutrition
These seeds are a complete plant-based protein, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids. They are also incredibly rich in healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are vital for supporting brain health and skin integrity.
Good to know
While hemp seeds are not a common allergen, they are a small food item that can be a choking hazard if given in a large clump. Always mix them into other foods like yogurt, oatmeal, or mashed avocado.
Tip
Keep hemp hearts in the refrigerator or freezer once opened to maintain the integrity of their delicate, healthy oils.
