What are Hemp Hearts?
Hemp hearts are the soft, hulled kernels of hemp seeds that offer all the goodness of the seed without the tough outer shell. Also known as simple “hemp seeds”, these small, mild‑tasting kernels are a nutritional powerhouse and one of the most versatile hemp foods in Australia.
With a subtle, nutty flavour similar to cashew or pine nuts, hemp hearts are easy to sprinkle, blend or bake into your favourite foods. Packed with complete protein, essential fatty acids and key minerals, they’re a go‑to choice for anyone wanting to elevate their nutrition naturally.
Why Choose Australian Hemp Hearts?
Our hemp hearts for sale are 100% Australian-grown. That means quality you can trust, traceability from seed to shelf, and a product that supports local agriculture.
Being gluten‑free and vegan‑friendly, hemp hearts are a great alternative for people with nut or grain intolerances. Unlike many imported seed products, our Australian hemp seeds online are grown under strict controls, harvested at peak ripeness and carefully tested to deliver consistent nutrition in every batch.
Nutritional Benefits
Complete Plant Protein (All 9 Essential Amino Acids)
Hemp hearts are one of the few plant foods that contain all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete plant protein. This makes them invaluable for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone looking to diversify their protein sources beyond typical grains and legumes.
Each tablespoon delivers a meaningful protein boost that supports muscle maintenance, immune function and sustained energy, without the heaviness we sometimes feel with animal proteins.
Omega 3, 6 & 9 Fatty Acids (Perfect 3:1 Ratio)
Healthy fats are essential for brain, heart and cellular health, and hemp hearts deliver them in a naturally balanced way. With an ideal ratio of Omega 3, 6 and 9, these seeds help support:
- Heart and cardiovascular wellbeing
- Normal inflammation response
- Healthy skin and hair
- Metabolic health
This balanced fatty acid profile is hard to find in many other plant foods, making hemp hearts stand out among health foods.
Rich in Magnesium, Iron & Zinc
Beyond protein and healthy fats, hemp hearts are a great source of key minerals like magnesium, iron and zinc, nutrients that many people don’t get enough of in their daily diet. These minerals support everything from energy metabolism and immune health to muscle function and recovery.
Easy to Digest (No Soaking Required)
Unlike whole seeds that can be hard to digest, hemp hearts are soft and do not require soaking before eating. This makes them an easy addition to everyday meals, perfect for quick nutrition that fits into even the busiest routine.
How to Use Hemp Hearts
Hemp hearts are one of the most versatile hemp products online. They can be added to almost anything:
Smoothies & Shakes
Boost your morning smoothie or post‑workout shake with a tablespoon of hemp hearts to elevate protein and healthy fat content without changing the taste. Or, try our hemp seed protein powder!
Breakfast (Yoghurt, Oats, Cereal)
Sprinkle hemp hearts over your favourite breakfast bowls, like yoghurt, porridge, or muesli, for extra texture and nutrition.
Salads & Soups
Add a nutritious lift to salads, soups or grain bowls with a handful of hemp hearts.
Baking & Raw Treats
Incorporate hemp hearts into muffins, energy balls, raw slices and other homemade snacks for a wholesome boost.
Hemp Milk (DIY)
Blend hemp hearts with water and a pinch of salt or sweetener to make creamy, homemade hemp milk, a naturally nut‑free alternative to dairy or other plant milks.
Storage & Shelf Life
To keep your hemp hearts fresh and flavourful:
- Store in a cool, dry place
- After opening, refrigerate to extend freshness
- Use within 3–6 months once opened
Proper storage helps preserve the delicate fatty acids and maintains the mild, nutty taste you expect from premium hemp hearts.

FAQs
Are there any known allergens in your products?
All of our products are free from dairy, eggs, gluten.
For those with nut allergies, the hemp hearts, protein and oil are processed in a facility that ONLY processes hemp. These products should be safe for you to eat. Our Roasted Range (Dukkah, Salad Sprinkle) either contain or may contain traces of sesame, almonds and other nuts.
For those with allergies to fragrances, in particular Linalool and Limonene, it is best to either avoid using the Terpene Tonics or use with caution.
Hemp, like many natural products, has the potential to be an allergen for some individuals, although it's relatively uncommon compared to more prevalent allergens like peanuts, dairy, or shellfish.
For individuals trying hemp products for the first time or those who suspect they may have a food allergy, it's wise to start with small amounts and monitor for any adverse reactions. If you suspect you have an allergy to hemp or experience unexpected symptoms after consuming hemp products, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper testing and guidance.
What are the benefits of omega 3?
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential polyunsaturated fats that play a crucial role in maintaining overall health. There are three main types of omega-3 fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Some key benefits include heart health, brain health, reduced inflammation, immune support, eye health, joint health, mood and mental health, skin health and pregnancy health.

Are terpenes or hemp safe for kids, breastfeeding or pregnancy?
Terpenes are in most fruit and vegetables and are generally recognised as safe. While some terpenes may have potential health benefits, the safety of using terpene products, especially in concentrated forms, on children is not well-studied. Therefore, we do not recommend using the terpenes for children under 12.
Likewise for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Due to lack of data it is safest not to use these products.
Hemp seed is safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and for kids from the moment they start eating solids. Hemp seeds are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for brain development in infants.

What’s the difference between hemp hearts and hemp seeds?

No. Hemp hearts come from hemp seed, which contains only trace amounts of THC — far below levels that could cause a high or trigger a positive drug test. They’re a nutritious food, not a psychoactive product.

A typical serving is 1–2 tablespoons (about 10–20g), but you can adjust based on your nutritional needs. Many people add hemp hearts daily to their meals for ongoing support.
Are hemp hearts safe for children?
Yes, hemp hearts are safe and nutritious for most children. They make a great addition to breakfasts, smoothies, and snacks to help support growth and energy. If you have specific dietary concerns, speak to a healthcare provider.
