Hemp seeds vs. hemp hearts
Hemp seeds include the outer hull. Hemp hearts are the inner kernel with the shell removed, also called shelled hemp seeds. Most products sold as "hemp seeds" in grocery contexts are actually hemp hearts: the soft inner seed ready to eat or cook with. Gerbs carries the shelled variety (hemp hearts) unless otherwise noted on the product page.
Ways to use hemp seeds
Hemp hearts blend into smoothies, mix into yogurt and overnight oats, and sprinkle onto salads, grain bowls, and soups. They fold into granola, energy bites, and bread dough. Because they are already soft and do not need soaking or grinding, they are one of the most straightforward seeds to incorporate into everyday cooking.
How to store hemp seeds
Store hemp hearts sealed in the refrigerator after opening. The fats in hemp seeds can turn rancid at room temperature faster than seeds like sunflower or chia. Sealed and refrigerated, they stay fresh for three to six months. Freezing extends shelf life further.
