Unshelled hemp seeds
The unhulled hemp seed is crunchier, has a hard skin that is harder to consume, but contains a high amount of fiberwhich helps cleanse the intestines and supports the digestive system. For better digestibility, it can be soaked in water for several hours or ground.
Therefore, the unshelled seeds are a suitable supplement for detoxification or weight loss. You can use them on their own as a preventive measure and thereby prevent possible bowel problems.
How are hemp seeds used?
Hemp seeds, both shelled and unshelled, have a wide range of uses, just like other oilseeds.
They do not need to be heat treated to preserve valuable substances. You can easily add them to regular dishes such as salads, pastas, soups, mixed with cereals, yoghurts, muesli, etc. They are also suitable for direct consumption.
If you want to add hemp seeds to baked goods such as bread, cookies, cakes or hash browns, we recommend unhulled seeds, which retain their nutrients better through the skin.
