If you’re looking for a new tasty ingredient to add to your meals, try hemp seeds. At Vasse Valley, we grow hemp ourselves to provide you with hemp seeds directly from the source. Hemp is full of essential omega oils and good fats that make them a superfood and a great addition to a healthy diet.
HEMP SEED NUTRITION FACTS
Besides tasting great, hemp seed is rich in nutrients we need to keep us healthy. In particular, hemp seed is well-known for being high in protein, essential fatty acids and fibre. It also provides a great source of vitamin E, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron and zinc.
Most hemp seed products extract the oil or seed husk but Vasse Valley’s famous roasted range gives you the complete set of nutritional benefits that only the whole seed can give.

Tips for Getting More Value Out of Hemp Seeds
You may be ready to jump on the latest trend but take the time to discover how to use your new purchase most effectively.
Supplement for other nuts: With the rise in peanut allergies, it can be important to have a replacement on hand. Switching to hemp seeds in your daily regimen can help avoid the allergy issues of your family members. Regardless, it is crucial to never assume that someone isn’t allergic to a food item. Always inform people consuming your food of possible allergens in them.
Look for spice mixes: Once you try our regular hemp seed crumble, you can branch out and try our other products with spice mixes to add a little more kick. Our hemp seed Dukkah is homemade and has a distinct chilli after-hit to add a little something extra to your home cooking.
Try out hemp milk: Those who enjoy experimenting in the kitchen can try their hand at turning their newly purchased seeds into fresh hemp milk. For vegans, this can be an excellent homebrew to replace dairy milk in their fridge. The hint of nutty flavour makes it ideal for coffee additions, smoothies, and cereal. Have you ever tried a hemp latte?
As a final point, our hemp seeds are non-GMO and grown without the application of chemical sprays and are free of any undesirable contaminants.
