Nutiva Organic Hempseed - Nutrient-Dense Protein Source, Omega-3 Rich, Raw, 12oz

We use these hemp seeds as often as possible in our cooking. As vegetarians, we are always looking for ways to add extra protein to our diet and these hemp seeds are a staple in our kitchen.I add a couple of tablespoons to my smoothies just about every day. My husband makes waffles with about half a cup of them in the batter every Sunday. They are great on salads and blend well into other things, such a peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.The flavor is subtle. At first I could taste them fairly easily, but now I kind of like the flavor. I don't love it...so I go light on salads where I know I could get a lot of unmasked flavor.We also love the brand and that it is organic and non-GMO.If you're looking to add some protein to your diet in subtle ways, give these a shot!

I had never purchased this before; however, saw on a article that it is a great food to start your morning with supplying extra energy, high in protein and Omega 3 and 6. I put in cereal (unsweetened corn flakes) and it adds a nutty taste which gives a more enjoyable flavor. Tastes good added to yogurts as well as to oatmeal. It has a good taste, I have even consumed this product alone and have enjoyed it. Whether the energy it should give is noticeable, I have not noticed a great change; however, I have lost 6 lbs in the two weeks of mixing this into my diet. I am not saying this is the cause of the weight loss but I have not changed much to my day to day life or diet. All in all a delicious product that can be purchased based on taste alone and the health benefits are a big plus.

These are so tasty I love, love, love them! I add them to yogurt (which I hate) and it makes it palatable. They go great on salads. I sprinkle it on guacamole. I also add it to shakes, but I changed to hemp protein powder because I can't bring myself to hide there deliciousness by blending them into multi ingredient shakes. I will even take a spoonful straight from the bag when I need a little energy boost. They are known for there perfect omegas balance as well as having all nine essential amino acids. They help lower cholesterol and balance hormones and 10 grams of protein in one serving.Add these to your diet, it will improve your life (even if it is only because you will be eating something so delicious).

Excellent brand of organic shelled hemp seed. I use this in smoothies instead of protein powder (less processed). Keeps my blood sugar stable for 4-5 hours. Excellent source of good fats that is especially helpful for skin, hair, brain function and energy in the winter. Delicious nutty taste. Also excellent sprinkled on cereal, porridge, grains, veggies - just about everything! Better price than the health food store. Have ordered numerous times and always fresh - never rancid.

I literally had to look up whether or not this was marijuana, and it's not. Call me ignorant, I know. Hemp is a completely different plant than its psychoactive cousin and has no drug value. Hemp is so nutritious that it is rapidly gaining popularity as one of the most valuable sources of quality plant-based protein. It’s also a rich source of Omegas, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, making it an ideal alternative for vegetarians and anyone with allergies to soy and dairy.Anyway, I was worried this would taste awful, but I REALLY love the taste right out of the bag. I just eat 3 tablespoons and I have gotten nutrients from REAL seeds, not vitamins that don't get absorbed as well. I love the Nutiva chia seeds in my water, and now I have the Hemp Seeds, too! This company really does make a quality product, and I had never heard of them before until my neighbor showed me her bag. Great find!
