Why Hemp Hearts Are the Perfect Protein Source for Vegetarians and Vegans

Small seed. Complete nutrition. Clean protein.

The Protein Gap in Plant-Based Diets

Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or simply plant-focused — getting enough clean, complete protein is a daily challenge.
Most plant proteins are either incomplete, hard to digest, or come with allergens and additives.

Enter hemp hearts — a natural, bioavailable, and nutrient-packed solution that fills this gap with ease.

What Are Hemp Hearts?

Hemp hearts are the shelled seeds of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa L.). Soft, nutty, and packed with nutrition, they’re:

  • THC-free (completely non-psychoactive)
  • Legal and safe for everyday use
  • A natural source of complete plant protein, healthy fats, and essential minerals

Why Hemp Hearts Are the Ultimate Plant-Based Protein

Complete Amino Acid Profile

Hemp hearts provide all 9 essential amino acids, unlike most plant sources.

35g of Protein per 100g

That’s nearly double the protein in chia or flax, and higher than quinoa — with no processing or fortification.

Powered by Edestin Protein

Hemp is rich in Edestin, a globular protein that closely resembles human plasma.
This makes it incredibly easy to digest and absorb, with no bloating or heaviness — ideal for sensitive stomachs, post-workout recovery, and everyday vitality.

It also contains Albumin, another fast-absorbing protein that supports muscle and cell repair.

Alkaline-Forming

Unlike soy or whey, hemp is naturally alkaline, supporting pH balance, energy, and gut health.

Beyond Protein: Whole-Body Nutrition

Hemp hearts aren’t just about protein — they’re a functional food, rich in:

  • Omega-3, 6 & 9 fatty acids – For brain, heart, and hormonal balance
  • GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid) – A rare plant-based anti-inflammatory
  • Iron, Magnesium, Zinc & B Vitamins – For energy, immunity, and recovery
  • Natural Fiber – Helps regulate digestion, appetite, and blood sugar

How to Add Hemp Hearts to Your Diet

They’re versatile, ready to eat, and need no prep:

  • Sprinkle on salads, oats, smoothies, and soups
  • Blend into protein shakes, dips, or batters
  • Use in energy balls, bars, or pancake mixes
  • Add post-workout to support muscle repair and recovery
