What are Help Hulls and Hearts?
Hemp hulls are the shell of the hemp heart/seed that remains after the seed has been extracted. During the de-hulling process a certain percent (approx. 20%) of the seed remains, resulting in this blended Hemp Hulls and Hearts product. They are an excellent source of fibre and amino acids, and provide the essential fatty acids omega 3 and 6.
Hemp in the human market is fast becoming established as a super food and has been used in food, tea and medicine in China for at least 3000 years.
