Hard to Believe!!!

If someone had told me the effects of changing my diet I would never have believed them. About 5 weeks ago I started eating whole food smoothies for breakfast and lunch. About 2 weeks ago I added these hemp hearts to my smoothies. I only add a tablespoon to each smoothie, and the effects have been amazing! My smoothies consist of the following: 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 frozen banana, a handful of frozen strawberries, a handful of frozen berries or cherries, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1 tablespoon of hemp hearts, and two huge handfuls of kale. I blend all that together and top with a handful of raw pecans. Pretty tasty. No added sugar. (I eat a fairly healthy dinner at night, Whole Foods based) After 5 weeks of smoothies (2 weeks of hemp hearts in smoothies) here are the results: - 21lb weight loss (I have done some moderate exercise, nothing extreme) - A huge reduction in acne - Far fewer wrinkles (the laugh lines around my mouth gone completely, around my eyes dramatically reduced) - Huge increase in energy - Better sleep - Eczema has cleared (I had a patch on my knuckles that wouldn’t heal, it would crack open and hurt. It is almost 100% healed.) - Zero constipation - Moods are much more stable - Hair seems healthier and thicker - Nails are stronger - Cravings for junk are gone (I was eating and craving sweets every day.) I don’t know know how much of these results are due to the hemp hearts, but I could definitely see a huge boost in the positive effects after adding them. Especially to my skin. The wrinkle reduction and eczema reduction have been wonderful. I’m pretty excited because I’m 38 and when losing weight at my age wrinkles seem to increase, not decrease. My husband has been doing this with me and has lost 20 lb and also seen many of the positive effects as well. Bottom line, I plan to definitely keep using this product and would recommend it to others. No gimmicks here, just healthy food that your body will thank you for.

Delicious superfood

I am very pleased with these hemp seeds. They are fresh and delicious. I will definitely purchase this brand again. There are multiple vendors of organic hemp seeds available in the marketplace, but Manitoba Harvest is a brand I am very impressed with. They are a company located in Canada, and their hemp is grown in Canada. They have two manufacturing facilities, one in Winnipeg and one in St. Agathe. They have been involved in growing and selling hemp for over 20 years, since 1998. They have received a AA+ rating from BRCGS, a leading consumer protection organization in Canada. Hemp seeds are a fabulous superfood. After recently doing extensive research on the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids (see below), I decided to add hemp seeds to my vegan diet because these seeds are an abundant source of omega-3 fatty acids. There is another big plus for hemp seeds as well: One ounce (28 grams) contains a whopping 9.3 grams of protein and 1 gram of fiber, along with its very healthy fat. Because of that fact, due to consuming hemp seeds, I have been able to reduce how much vegan protein powder I add to my smoothie each day. In fact, I am planning to slowly begin increasing the amount of hemp seeds I consume each day and reduce my use of expensive protein powder even more. It’s crucial to realize when adding hemp seeds to one’s diet that, if one tries to eat them whole, unfortunately, they will simply pass through the body, undigested. To prevent that problem, I use my blender to process them in order to achieve maximum digestive absorption of the hemp seeds. If I am going to put them in hot cereal, I blend them into a powder first. If I am going to use them in my morning green smoothie, I blend them into a paste first. This is how I do that for the smoothie: I put 1 ounce (28 grams) of these seeds in the blender with no more than 1/2 cup of water or herbal tea. I blend on high until the hemp seeds are a thick paste. At that point I add in my fruits, vegetables, powdered nutraceuticals and additional liquid. INFORMATION ABOUT OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS There are three main types of omega-3 fatty acids whose health benefits have been well researched. These include DHA, EPA and ALA: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are called marine omega-3 fatty acids, because they are found, fully bioavailable, in fatty fish and certain algae, most especially the algae, Schizochytrium. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is found in plant sources such as green leafy vegetables, soybeans, walnuts, and seeds such as chia, flax, and hemp, with flaxseeds containing the highest amount. It is important to note that, in order to obtain omega-3 health benefits from these sources, the body must first convert the ALA into EPA and DHA, and this conversion process is inefficient in humans. On average, only 1-10% of ALA is converted into EPA, and only 1-5% into DHA. The amount of the conversion is also impacted by the availability in the body of adequate amounts of the following nutrients: B6, B7, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, and iron, which most vegans and vegetarians probably already supplement in their diet (especially B vitamins). Note that the U.S Institute of Medicine recommends a daily ALA intake of 1600 mg. per day for men and 1100 mg. per day for women. It is difficult to obtain remotely enough ALA simply from leafy greens because, for example, 1 cup of raw spinach only has 40 mg. of ALA, and 1 cup of raw kale only has a little more ALA at 120 mg. But If a vegan or vegetarian is willing to add the following seeds and nuts to their diet on a regular basis (I have added all of these to my diet), it is easily possible to obtain an adequate dose of EPA and DHA from the diet alone: One ounce (28 grams) of chia seeds provides 4,915 mg of ALA. The body would convert this to between 49-490 mg. of EPA and 49-245 mg DHA. One ounce (28 grams) of flaxseeds contains 6,388 mg of ALA. The body would convert this to between 64-640 mg. of EPA and 64-320 mg DHA. One ounce (28 grams) of hemp seeds contains 6,000 mg of ALA. The body would convert this to between 60-600 mg. of EPA and 60-300 mg DHA. One ounce (28 grams) of walnuts contains 2,542 mg of ALA. The body would convert this to between 25-254 mg. of EPA and 25-127 mg DHA. HEALTH BENEFITS Research has indicated that the most health benefits are obtained from omega-3 supplements, or the above food sources, which offer a combination of EPA and DHA. Some of these benefits include: 1. Anti-inflammatory. Research indicates that omega-3 can help reduce inflammation. This is very important because, over the course of many decades, an abundance of scientific research has indicated that inflammation is either the direct cause or a major contributing factor in virtually all disease, including especially: cancer, heart disease and autoimmune disorders such as arthritis. This is very likely why it has directly been found to help improve or heal all of those diseases. 2. Prevents heart disease and stroke. Research indicates that omega-3 can help reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, lower blood pressure, and increase blood flow by improving the ability of blood vessels to dilate normally. 3. Improved eye health. Research indicates that omega-3 can help reduce the incidence of dry eyes, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. 4. Improved brain function. Research indicates that omega-3 can help improve mental clarity and lower the risk of dementia and depression. REFERENCES Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 research group.

Its the first I've tried...and I'll never buy another brand.

So, I had decided to start making smoothies so I can start my path to healthier eating. I have stomach issues and can't tolerate certain foods. I had read the heath benefits of hemp seeds and decided to give them a try. I use Hempseed oil on my body/face and knew it had made a significant difference in my completion, elasticity and improving wrinkles etc so I thought why not. I bought this brand because of all the positive reviews and price....i feel like I've hit the jackpot! I started with making it into hempseed butter. Its SO easy to make and my family thinks it tastes like sweet raw sunflower seeds. So its good just like that. The next batch I added some cinnamon, a pinch of salt and some vanilla powder. HEAVEN on bread! Lol. I LITERALLY felt more energetic and I felt fuller...longer. Now I make butter, hemp milk, add a small handful to other dishes etc. But have yet to make a smoothie. Which was my original intent. LOL. But I expect it will have the same results. Oh...its a mild tasting seed and they're VERY soft. My 4yo eats them right out if the bag. So I highly recommend this brand!

Hemp seed oatmeal is delicious!

Being allergic To oatmeal I decided to make a hemp seed oatmeal. I do this by adding 2 tablespoons of hemp seed, 1 tablespoons of Chia seed, a cup of organic coconut milk and some honey. I let it boil and then sit for four to five minutes. It’s absolutely delicious and a good source of protein!

so tasty!

These Hemp Hearts are very delicious. We sprinkle them on just about everything, be it peanut butter jelly sandwich, salad, over veggies or oatmeal. Much tastier than I expected and very healthy. We fill up a small glass container and keep this on the counter and keep the large bag in the refrigerator. It keeps very fresh this way.

Delicious plant based protein & omegas

I Absolutely love Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts. Tender nutty flavor. I add to shakes, salads & recipes. Sometimes I eat a handful as a snack. Plant based with 10g protein & 12g omegas in only 3 Tbsp. Plus loads more vitamins & minerals, including 45% RDA of our much needed Magnesium. Can't say enough good things about this near perfect superfood! I've only been taking about 2 weeks & seeing benefits already. Sleeping better, more energy, less pain, eases RLS & helping depression symptoms, etc... Oh, I purchased these myself & was not influenced by freebies for a positive review. When you have found a great product, you want to spread the news to others. So be kind to yourself & try them. You'll more than likely love them as I do.

Love this product - my doggy loves them too :)!

I love these Hemp Hearts!!! They are very nutritious and tasty. I put them in my smoothies, oatmeal, or eat straight up. I love to mix them into the Greek Yogurt with honey. Definitely worth the money. Buy it.

Yum!

This is a great addition smoothies!! I got a vitamin this week and have been blending like a manic. My cousin recommended this to add in because of the benefits. I received it yesterday and added it in this morning and I am super pleased with my purchase. I price compared with the price from costco and it is comparable and saved me a trip to the store! So happy and I added it to my subscribe and save for extra savings!

The Organic Hemp Hearts are Tasty and Nutritious

After Kris Carr recommended hulled hemp seeds to be consumed on a daily basis, I was thrilled to find these hemp hearts here on Amazon. They are so powerfully nutritious and flavorful. Yesterday I topped my Super Immunity stew with a tablespoon of the hemp hearts. Today I added them to my chopped salad. I repackaged them after opening and now store them in the refrigerator. What a delicious, nutritious seed!

Organic Healthy

I'm trying to be healthy. This is part of my regime. Technically hemp hearts are a nut and are very nutritious. These have a mild, nutty flavor. I add them to my smoothies along with spinach, kale, berries, protein, etc.
