 Hulled Hemp Seeds Vs. Whole Hemp Seeds

Hulled hemp seed, which is the whole seed with the crunchy outer shell removed, comes by several names like hemp hearts, shelled hemp seed and hemp nut. Since the hulls of the hemp seed are quite crunchy and contain a lot of fiber, it's more appealing to most people. The fiber is one of the most important values of the hemp seed because, the fiber helps your body absorb the nutrients more efficiently.

When you remove the hull of the seed you are causing several effects to the nutritious whole seed. The main detriment is that you lose the hull, an excellent source of minerals but more importantly, a rare source of fiber, something that we get very little of in our modern diets. You can use the hull of the hemp seed to gently cleanse your colon and flush toxins from your intestinal tract. It is an excellent source of fiber that is not easily found in our diets due to, over processing of foods.

Whole hemp seed is also an excellent source of minerals and is much more stable out in the air then hulled seed. Stable because the shell is also designed to protect the inner nut and, the nutrients within. The added fiber in your diet significantly helps to boost digestion and, it is to your benefit that you eat whole hemp seed and gain the benefits of the excellent nutritional values (including essential fatty acids) from the whole seed.
