Unshelled hemp seeds from Austria (100% natural)
Hemp seeds are characterised by an unusually high nutrient density. They are rich in easily digestible protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and lecithin, in a perfect balance for our bodies.
Hemp seeds possess an optimal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids for humans, generally considered to be 4:1. Hemp seeds are therefore excellent brain food, improve the appearance of the skin and promote oxygen supply to the cells. Hemp seeds are a good source of EFAs, including 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 in maintaining health and contribute to the normal development and growth of the organism. Omega-3 fatty acids are incorporated into cell membranes and are essential for their structure and function. Omega-3 fatty acids influence the regulation of blood lipids. As part of a balanced diet, they contribute to good health.
An ideal food for athletes, as edible hemp builds muscle and increases stamina. Vegetarians also benefit from this rich and high-quality source of protein.
Unlike hulled seeds, whole hemp seeds are high in fibre.
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, but also the most environmentally friendly food of all time! Hemp grows easily anywhere, requires no pesticides or herbicides, and can be used to produce almost everything we need in our modern society: clothing, paper, biodegradable plastic, fuel, cars and building insulation, to name but a few.
What’s more, 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 which are necessary for maintaining good health.
Hardly any other plant source contains essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form, or the essential fatty acids in a ratio so optimal for humans!
Because hemp seeds are so rich in important nutrients, we consume them in generous quantities every day. This is easy to do, as hemp seeds are a delicious and versatile food.
SamaraNatura Organic Whole/Unshelled Hemp Seeds
SamaraNatura hemp seeds are sourced from legal, officially approved cultivars grown in Germany and Austria without the use of pesticides or agrochemicals.
The omega-3 content in hemp seeds is higher when the plant grows in a cooler climate, such as in Germany and Austria.
Uses for whole hemp seeds
Delicious on their own as a snack, sprinkled whole over salads, or ground and added to soups and other dishes (also lightly toasted); as an ingredient in smoothies and muesli.
- Beginners or children (2–9 years): 15–30 grams per day
- Teenagers (10–18 years): 30–50 grams
- Adults: 50–75 grams per day
- Competitive athletes: up to 140 grams per day
Hemp seeds should only be eaten raw and not cooked.
As hemp seeds do not contain the enzyme inhibitors typical of many seeds, they are perfectly fine to eat raw without having to soak them in water first. Hemp can also be enjoyed fresh as a milk by puréeing the seeds in water and then straining the mixture (see recipe).

Are hemp seeds gluten-free?
According to the law, a product may be labelled ‘gluten-free’ if it contains no more than 20 mg of gluten per kg. This is certainly the case for unhulled hemp seeds, as well as all other hemp products, as hemp is naturally gluten-free.
However, there are several reasons why hemp seeds may still contain traces of gluten:
- Cross-contamination during harvesting: The combine harvester used to harvest hemp seeds usually also threshes other plants such as millet or cereals. Residues from previous harvests always get lodged in the crevices of the machine. Depending on how the combine harvester is used, this could unfortunately also mean that wheat residues are present.
- Cross-contamination in the field: The farmer generally only grows hemp in the hemp field. However, the open field cannot be shielded from plants that are carried into the hemp field by the wind and which also grow there the following year.
