Hemp Food Ingredients Information & Specifications
Hulled Hemp Seeds Product Profile
Hemp New Zealand™ is bringing the benefits of hemp to farmers, brands and consumers globally.
Hemp Farm® Hulled Hemp Seeds are 100% grown and harvested in New Zealand by farmers contracted to our Hemp Growers Program and deshelled in our dedicated hemp food facility.
Hemp is one of the earliest known plants cultivated and one of the world’s most nutritious superfood ingredients. Its versatility means it can be added to a wide variety of recipes.
Hulled Hemp Seeds are a plentiful source of fibre, vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, iron, zinc, and potassium. Unlike many other nuts and seeds the hemp seed is not a known food allergen.
Hulled Hemp Seeds are the simplest way to enjoy all the excellent nutritional benefits of the hemp seed in a tasty little package:
- Complete, highly digestible protein
- 50% more protein than almonds
- 2x the protein content of chia seeds
- Rich in Edestin, a highly digestible plant protein, only found in hemp seeds.
- Ideal 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids
- Free from the top eight allergens (vs. almonds and soy)
- High in iron, magnesium, copper, zinc
- Low in carbohydrates, no saturated fats
Sensory Profile: Small, creamy coloured seeds with
a mild, nutty aroma and flavour that is similar to pine
nuts and sesame seeds, and with a soft, smooth
texture.
Food & Beverage Applications: Hulled Hemp Seeds are a great addition when you’re looking to boost the nutritional profile and ingredient appeal in a wide variety of products:
Breads, Baked Goods & Cookies
- Crackers, Bliss Balls, Cereals & Granola
- Butters & Spreads, Pestos, Hummus
- Vegan milk & Smoothies
Hulled Hemp Seeds will boost the nutritional profile of your products and put your brand on the cutting edge of a plant-based source from a transparent, non-GMO New Zealand supply chain.
