What to know about hemp hearts
Hemp hearts are hemp seeds with the shell removed, soft enough to eat raw by the spoonful over yoghurt or salad. As a trigger food they are unusually quiet: clean on histamine, histamine liberation, gluten, lactose, dairy protein, sulfite, tyramine and caffeine, and only mild on FODMAPs and salicylate. Two grades are worth knowing about. Nickel is high, which is the standard picture for seeds, and oxalate is moderate. Hemp is also botanically neither a tree nut nor a peanut, so it clears most nut allergy protocols, and the recurring drug test worry has a more reassuring answer than the internet suggests.
Watch for
- High in nickel, the one real flag on this food.Seeds concentrate nickel, and hulling removes the shell so what is left is the mineral-dense kernel
- Moderate oxalate, graded a step above whole hemp seed here, which fits the same logic: strip the hull and you concentrate the kernel
- Mild FODMAP load rather than none.Hemp hearts get eaten by the handful because they taste like nothing, and two or three heaped tablespoons is a different dose from a sprinkle
- Not a nut, but often packed alongside them.If your reaction is to a tree nut or sesame, the question is the facility rather than the hemp, so check the may-contain line
- Buy them cold and use them up.The oil in hemp hearts is highly unsaturated and goes rancid quickly at room temperature, and rancid seeds taste bitter and sit badly
