Product information "Hemp Seeds whole / unpeeled organic"
Unhulled hemp seeds from Austria
Hemp seeds are characterised by an unusually high nutrient density. Rich in easily digestible protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, fibre and lecithin in perfect balance for our body.
Hemp seeds have an optimal functional ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids for humans, which is generally considered to be 4:1. Hemp seeds are therefore an excellent brain food, beautify the skin and promote the oxygen supply to the cells. Hemp seeds are a good food for the supply of EFS, linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid and the rare gamma-linolenic acid. These fatty acids are required for the production of numerous hormones and for cell renewal. They support the functions of the human body to maintain health and contribute to the normal development and growth of the organism. Omega-3 fatty acids are incorporated into the cell membrane and are necessary for its structure and function. Omega-3 fatty acids have an influence on blood lipid regulation. They contribute to health as part of a balanced diet.
An ideal food for athletes, as edible hemp builds muscle and increases endurance. Vegetarians also benefit from this rich and high-quality source of protein.
Whole hemp seeds, unlike hulled seeds, have a high fibre content.
Why we love hemp seeds
Hemp seeds are a wonderful gift from nature. Not only are they one of the most nutritious foods on the planet, they are also the most environmentally friendly food ever! Hemp grows easily everywhere, requires no pesticides or herbicides and is suitable for the production of almost everything we need in our modern society: Clothes, paper, biodegradable plastic, fuel, cars, building insulation, just to name a few.
In addition, hemp seeds offer outstanding health benefits. They contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids (including the rare gamma-linolenic acid!) that the body cannot produce itself and that are necessary for maintaining healthy human life.
Hardly any other plant source contains essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form or essential fatty acids in such an optimal ratio for humans!
Because hemp seeds are so rich in important nutrients, we eat plenty of them every day. A feat that is easy to accomplish, as hemp seeds are a delicious and versatile food.
SamaraNatura organic hemp seeds whole/unpeeled
SamaraNatura hemp seeds are obtained from legal, officially authorised cultivars that are grown in Germany and Austria without pesticides or agrochemicals.
The omega-3 content in hemp seeds is higher when the plant grows in cooler climates, such as in Germany and Austria.
Use of whole hemp seeds
Delicious simply as a snack, sprinkled whole over salads, ground in soups and other dishes (also lightly roasted); as an ingredient in smoothies and muesli.
- Beginner or child (2-9 years): 15-30 grams per day
- Teenager (10-18 years): 30-50 grams
- Adults: 50-75 grams per day

Hemp seeds should only be eaten raw and should not be cooked with food.
As hemp seeds do not contain the enzyme inhibitors typical of many seeds, they can be eaten raw without having to soak them in water first. Hemp can also be drunk fresh in the form of milk by pureeing the seeds in water and then straining them (see recipe).

Are hemp seeds gluten-free?
According to the law, a product may be labelled "gluten-free" if it has a gluten content of no more than 20 mg per kg. This is easily the case with unhulled hemp seeds and all other hemp products, as hemp is basically gluten-free.
However, there are several reasons why hemp seeds can still contain traces of gluten:
- Cross-contamination during harvesting: The combine harvester used to harvest the hemp seeds usually also threshes other plants such as corn or cereals. There is always some residue from previous harvests in the cracks of the machine. Depending on how the combine harvester is used, there may unfortunately also be wheat residues.
- Cross-contamination in the field: The farmer only plants hemp in the hemp field. However, the open field cannot be shielded against plants that enter the hemp field with the wind and also grow the following year.
