description Hemp Seed Overview

Hemp seed is the edible seed of Cannabis sativa, cultivated for food, fiber, and other non-intoxicating uses. Whole hemp seeds have a mild, nutty flavor and provide protein, unsaturated fats, fiber, and minerals; shelled seeds are commonly sold as hemp hearts. The seeds do not produce the intoxicating effects associated with THC-rich cannabis flowers, and they are used in cereals, salads, baked goods, smoothies, and plant-based recipes.
