Shelled Hemp Seeds FAQs | EU-Grown Hemp Hearts Nutrition, Benefits & Uses
Curious about what makes organic shelled hemp seeds (hemp hearts) such a nutritional powerhouse? Below, we answer the most frequently searched questions about shelled hemp seeds — from health benefits and how to eat them, to where they’re grown and why our EU-grown variety stands above the rest.
1. What are shelled hemp seeds good for?
Shelled hemp seeds, also known as hemp hearts, are prized for their high-quality plant protein, omega 3 fatty acids, and essential minerals. They’re perfect for supporting heart health, muscle recovery, brain function, and overall wellness. Their mild, nutty flavour makes them easy to add to almost any meal.
2. Are all shelled hemp seeds the same?
No — quality varies significantly. Many brands source hemp grown in China and only process it in the EU, which can still be labelled as “EU origin.” At Everyday Superfood, our shelled hemp seeds are grown and processed entirely in the EU, ensuring higher quality, fresher stock, and strict compliance with EU food safety regulations.
3. Can I eat shelled hemp seeds every day?
Yes. They’re a nutrient-rich food that can be consumed daily. A common serving is 2–3 tablespoons (20–30g) added to smoothies, porridge, salads, or baked goods.
Our hemp seeds are independently lab-tested for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbiology, making them a safe, retail-grade choice for everyday use.
4. Do shelled hemp seeds contain THC?
No. While hemp is from the Cannabis sativa plant, shelled hemp seeds contain no THC and have no psychoactive effects. They are safe, legal, and widely consumed as a health food.
5. What do shelled hemp seeds taste like?
They have a mild, nutty flavour that pairs well with both sweet and savoury foods. Their soft texture means they blend smoothly into smoothies, sprinkle easily over salads, and mix well into baking recipes.
6. Are hemp seeds a complete protein?
Yes. Hemp seeds are one of the few plant-based foods that provide all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein source suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and athletes.
7. How should I store shelled hemp seeds?
Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerating them can help preserve freshness for longer.

Description
Traditionally used as a natural oriental medicine, hemp is the seed of the Cannabis Sativa plant and one of the very few complete plant-based protein sources, containing all essential amino acids.
Unlike many products on the market that are grown in China and only processed in the EU (yet labelled as “EU origin”), our organic shelled hemp seeds are grown and processed entirely within the EU. This guarantees full traceability, strict adherence to EU food safety regulations, and superior freshness.
Made from premium-quality hemp seeds using minimal processing in Europe, the outer shell is removed to preserve the seeds’ delicate texture and rich nutrient profile. Naturally high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and magnesium, with a mild, nutty flavour, they’re an easy and versatile ingredient to add to any diet.
Every batch is independently lab-tested for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial safety, ensuring retail-grade quality that’s clean, safe, and consistent.
