Hemp hearts are hemp seeds with the tough outer hull removed, leaving a soft, ivory-colored seed with a mild, slightly nutty flavor that integrates into virtually any dish without altering its taste. No grinding, no soaking, no preparation required. Crop by Pop sources these as USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO verified, and Vegan, hulled and shelled, packed fresh in the USA in a resealable bag. Ingredients: Organic Hemp Seeds. Certified Organic by: Natural Food Certifiers. Processed in a facility that also processes Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Milk, Soy, and Wheat. Available in 1 lb.

What You're Buying

Crop by Pop is the USDA Certified Organic line within the Nut Cravings family. Every product in the range carries USDA Organic certification, Non-GMO verification, and Vegan status as baseline standards applied consistently across the full lineup.

Hemp hearts are the hull-free interior of the hemp seed. The tough outer shell of the whole hemp seed has been removed at processing, leaving the soft, digestible seed center. Because the hull has already been removed, hemp hearts are fully bioavailable as eaten, with no grinding required to access their nutritional content. This distinguishes them from whole flax seeds, which pass through the digestive tract largely intact without grinding, and from chia seeds, which benefit from soaking to form a gel. Hemp hearts are ready to eat directly and fully absorbed in that form.

Hemp is an accumulator crop, absorbing compounds from its growing soil with unusual efficiency. For a crop with this characteristic, USDA Organic certification is more directly relevant to the end product's purity than it is for crops that accumulate fewer external compounds. USDA Organic certification requires the growing soil to meet National Organic Program standards prohibiting synthetic pesticide and fertilizer use for a minimum of three years before certification, verified through annual third-party inspection by Natural Food Certifiers, an independent USDA-accredited certifying agent. Non-GMO verification provides additional documentation confirming the seed variety's genetic integrity.

A note on hemp hearts and THC: Hemp hearts are derived from the hemp plant but contain no meaningful THC, the psychoactive compound associated with cannabis. The seed of the hemp plant does not accumulate THC the way the flower and leaves do. USDA Certified Organic hemp hearts are food-grade products grown and processed for human consumption, with no psychoactive properties and no legal restrictions on purchase, possession, or consumption in the United States.

Nutrition Per One Tablespoon (10g)

Per one tablespoon serving: 57 calories, 5g total fat (7% DV), 0.3g saturated fat (2% DV), 0g trans fat, 0mg cholesterol, 0mg sodium (0% DV), less than 1g total carbohydrate (0% DV), less than 1g dietary fiber (2% DV), 0g total sugars, 0g added sugars, 3g protein. Vitamin D: 0.2mcg (2% DV). Calcium: 30mg (3% DV). Iron: 1mg (7% DV). Potassium: 110mg (3% DV). Magnesium: 67mg (17% DV).

At 17% DV magnesium per tablespoon, hemp hearts are one of the most magnesium-dense foods available in a seed format. Magnesium is a mineral that many adults do not consistently reach through diet alone, supporting muscular function, cortisol regulation, and sleep quality. Iron at 7% DV per tablespoon and calcium at 3% DV per tablespoon add to the micronutrient profile of a seed that is also delivering protein and polyunsaturated fats in the same serving. The fat profile at 5g per tablespoon is predominantly polyunsaturated, including both ALA omega-3 and LA omega-6 fatty acids. Saturated fat at 0.3g per tablespoon is negligible. The carbohydrate content at less than 1g per tablespoon makes hemp hearts one of the few protein-contributing whole foods that are fully compatible with ketogenic and low-net-carb dietary approaches.

Hemp hearts are one of the few plant foods that qualify as a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids in a single source without requiring combination with another complementary protein food. For plant-based eaters, vegans, and anyone reducing animal protein while maintaining daily protein targets, three tablespoons of hemp hearts added to an existing meal adds approximately 9g of complete protein from a food that requires no preparation and has no flavor that competes with the dish it is added to.

How to Use Organic Hemp Hearts

On Oatmeal, Yogurt, and Breakfast Bowls

Three tablespoons stirred into oatmeal before eating adds approximately 9g of complete protein and meaningful magnesium and iron to a breakfast that would otherwise be primarily carbohydrate-based. On yogurt with fruit, the hemp hearts provide additional protein alongside the natural dairy protein already present. The soft texture integrates without creating a noticeable textural contrast, and the mild flavor does not compete with any topping combination. This is the most common daily use for hemp hearts precisely because it adds nutritional density to a meal that is already being eaten, with no added preparation step.

Blended into Smoothies

Three tablespoons blended into a smoothie with fruit, greens, or protein powder add complete protein, omega-3, and magnesium while contributing a slight creaminess from the natural fat content. Hemp hearts disappear completely into the texture of a blended smoothie and leave no grit. The mild flavor is masked by virtually any smoothie combination. For buyers already using a daily smoothie as a protein delivery vehicle, replacing or supplementing a protein powder with three tablespoons of whole-food hemp hearts provides a complete amino acid profile alongside the full micronutrient contribution visible on the label above.

On Salads and Cooked Dishes

Scattered over a salad, hemp hearts add a subtle crunch and mild seed character that is less assertive than sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds and blends into the overall flavor profile more passively. Stirred into salad dressings, they disperse into the liquid and add body alongside nutritional content. In cooked dishes, hemp hearts can be added to soups and stews in the final minute before serving, stirred into cooked grain dishes including quinoa and rice, or used as a topping for roasted vegetables after the cooking process is complete. Brief heat exposure during stovetop finishing does not significantly degrade the nutritional content, though extended high-heat baking will oxidize the polyunsaturated fats over time.

In Baking and Energy Balls

Hemp hearts can be pressed into the surface of bread and muffins before baking, folded into cookie and energy ball mixtures, or used as a partial replacement for other seeds in granola recipes. The hull-free format means they integrate into baked goods more smoothly than whole hemp seeds and without the slight crunch that an intact outer hull would contribute. In energy balls and no-bake bars where the mixture is not exposed to high heat, the full nutritional content is preserved and the mild flavor contributes a natural, nutty baseline to the finished piece.

Avocado Toast and High-Fat Bases

Pressed into the surface of avocado toast or stirred into nut butter before spreading, hemp hearts add complete protein and omega-3 to a base that is rich in fat and carbohydrate but lower in protein. Three tablespoons on avocado toast turns a meal that might otherwise provide very little protein into one that contributes a meaningful share of the day's requirement before any other protein source is added. The flavor pairing with avocado, olive oil-based dressings, and tahini is natural given hemp hearts' mild nuttiness.

About the 1 LB Bag

The 1 lb bag contains 16 oz of shelled hemp hearts. At three tablespoons per day, approximately 30g, a 1 lb bag provides roughly fifteen daily servings or two to three weeks of consistent daily use. Hemp hearts are high in polyunsaturated fats, which oxidize faster than monounsaturated or saturated fats when exposed to heat, light, and air. Unlike whole seeds with an intact hull, shelled hemp hearts have no outer protective layer between the fat-rich interior and the surrounding environment, which makes storage conditions more important than for whole-seed products.

Refrigerating the bag from the day it arrives is the recommended approach. The mild flavor shift from fresh and nutty to slightly bitter is the practical indicator that fat oxidation has begun. At three tablespoons daily, the bag's contents are typically consumed within the refrigerator storage window for most buyers with a consistent daily routine.

Storage

  • Room temperature, sealed resealable bag, away from direct sunlight and heat: up to 4 weeks after opening before flavor quality begins to shift.
  • Refrigerated in the sealed bag: 2 to 3 months.
  • Frozen in an airtight container: up to 12 months.

Keep the resealable bag sealed between uses. For buyers with intermittent rather than consistent daily use, refrigerating the bag from day one is the more reliable approach. Hemp hearts that have developed a noticeably bitter or rancid flavor should be discarded, as that flavor shift indicates polyunsaturated fat oxidation.
