Serving size, prep, and portion notes for hemp seeds
Hemp seeds are the soft hulled kernels of Cannabis sativa grown for food, and they have become the default protein topping in nut-free households because they are botanically nothing like a tree nut, a peanut or a legume. On the chemistry that matters here they are quiet: A on histamine and histamine liberation, A on gluten, dairy protein, sulfites, nitrites, glutamates, tyramine and nightshades, and A for SIBO fermentability. Two grades do the work on this page. Nickel sits at C, which is the real caveat for anyone on a low-nickel protocol, and total FODMAPs sit at B, which makes hemp a portion question rather than a yes or no. The drug-test worry that brings most people here has a specific answer, below.
Watch for
Nickel is graded C. Seeds cluster near the top of the dietary nickel table, so hemp is a food to measure rather than pour if you have systemic nickel allergy syndrome / Total FODMAPs are graded B, so this is dose dependent. A tablespoon or two on yogurt is a different proposition from a heaped scoop blended into a smoothie, which is where the bloating reports come from / Salicylate and oxalate are both unrated for hemp seed in our data. If you are tracking either, log hemp as untested rather than assuming it is clean / Not a nut, but often a shared line. Hemp is frequently packed in facilities that also handle almonds, sesame and sunflower, so a severe allergy still needs the allergen statement checked / The oils oxidise quickly once the seed is hulled. A bitter, paint-like taste means the bag has turned, and rancid seed is worth binning rather than eating through
