Nutiva offers two types of shelled hempseeds. Our certified organic seeds are
grown without any chemical pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. Our
non-organic seeds are grown without any pesticides or herbicides and are not
certified organic.
• Certified Organic hemp seeds - 1.1oz pouch
• Certified Organic hemp seeds - 8 oz and 13 oz pouch
• Certified Organic hemp seeds bulk - 3 and 5 pound bags
• Non-organic hemp seeds - 5 pound bag
Because Nutiva cannot legally grow hemp in the United States, we must reply
on Canadian farmers to produce our hemp crops. Shortages of organic seeds often
occur due to weather or because surging sales outstrip supply.
• cold-processed
• oxygen removed
These steps ensure freshness and help protect the delicate Omega-3 fatty acids.
It's part of Nutiva's commitment to "Nourishing People and Planet."
Shelled hemp seeds (or hempnuts) taste similar to sesame or sunflower seeds
and can be added to almost any recipe. Ingredients: 100% raw shelled hemp seeds.

Directions
Eat 3 tablespoons daily by adding them to smoothies, cereal, omeletts, yogurt, soups, salads, and veggies. Consider lightly pan-toasting the seeds-but not above 325° F, to conserve the EFAs.
Warnings
It is best to keep our seeds refrigerated and air tight. If you purchase a bulk 5-pound bag, consider adding a pound to a container for daily use, and seal up the 5-pound bag and place it in the freezer. This will help protect the seed quality.
