Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts
There’s no need to grind or cook Hemp Hearts as they are ready to eat straight from the bag, making them simple to incorporate into your diet!
After shelling or de-hulling the whole hemp seed, you are left with only the center – the ‘Hemp Heart’. With its raw nutrition, rich nutty flavor and tender crunch, Hemp Hearts taste great, are easy to use and are good for you! Eat them straight out of the package or sprinkle them on anything – salad, cereal, yogurt – the only limit is your imagination!
Hemp Hearts may look little, but they contain 10 grams of plant-based protein and 10 grams of omegas per 30 gram serving – more than a comparable serving of Flax or Chia.
Manitoba Harvest producers deliver whole seeds directly to our state-of-the-art, global food safety and quality certified facility. Here the seed is de-hulled and goes through over 30 food quality and safety tests before being packaged in a modified atmosphere, light impermeable package to lock in the freshness.
All of their packaging includes the ‘packaged on’ and ‘best before’ dates to ensure you’re getting the highest quality product available. Hemp Hearts, as with all Manitoba Harvest products, are Non-GMO Project Verified.
Sprinkle on top of salads, cereal or yogurt. Add hemp hearts to baking, or just eat them right out of the bag.
Recommended Use: 1-2 servings per day.
Storage: Refrigerate after opening.
Food, clothing, rope, paper, building materials, animal bedding/herd, plastic, paint, fuel – the list of hemp applications goes go on and on. We like to call hemp the “green buffalo” as every part of the plant can be used. Hemp grown in Western Canada is primarily used for hemp foods. At the top part of the hemp plant you will find the hard hemp seed. This small seed “seeds” nutritiously delicious products like Hemp Hearts, hemp protein powder, and hemp oil.
Hemp has been around for centuries and has played an instrumental role in shaping our continent. Settlers were given free land if they grew hemp. The Declaration of Independence draft was written on hemp paper. Hemp materials were used in numerous war efforts. Hemp was integrating into modern life until it was ‘temporarily’ banned due to misconceptions. Yes, hemp is a species of Cannabis sativa. No, hemp is not the same as marijuana.
Hemp contains 0.001% Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and will NOT cause a psychoactive effect nor will our products cause a false positive drug test. Largely thanks to Manitoba Harvest co-founders’ advocacy efforts, hemp was demystified and Industrial Hemp was legalized in Canada in 1998. From there an industry was (re)born!

Here at Manitoba Harvest we focus solely on hemp foods. Do you blame us? Hemp foods taste great! Hemp foods have a slightly nutty taste that complements any dish.

These are great to get nutrition into almost anything. They taste great and on Manitoba Harvest website they offer lots of recipes for you to try. This is top quality and safe! My daughter seen these and said I am not testing positive if I get drug tested at work. Well as you see above that will not happen. These taste great on my oatmeal and with the added flavor I use less sugar. I also love them right out of the bag. What a flavorful way to get really good nutrition into everyone’s diet!

I received this to give my honest opinion. I really like these and would love to hear why or why not you would like to try these.

I’ve just started hearing about these and I wasn’t sure what they were. Thanks for the great review!
I use this as well. My favorite to use it in is my smoothies. Thanks for sharing.
I understand these are good for you. Question: poppy seeds show a false positive in a work drug test, would these do the same?
No everything I have read it does not cause a false positive because it has such a low amount of the THC level. On their site and I have linked to other references for that.
