Hemp Based Nutrition 101 According to Registered Dietitian

Meet 2020 OK! Magazine Wellness Award winner, Manitoba Harvest. Hemp isn’t just a food – it’s a superfood! Manitoba Harvest products are made with the highest-quality ingredients like pumpkin seeds, quinoa, chia, and at the heart of every product – hemp hearts. With a strong nutrient profile and rich nutty taste, they’re ready to eat right out of the bag or can be added to any meal.

According to Brigitte Zeitlin, RD and founder of BZ Nutrition, “shelled hemp seeds, or hemp hearts, are my go-to plant protein. In just one serving, they deliver 10g of complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids, plus 12g of omegas 3 & 6, and are a good source of magnesium. On top of that, their versatility is unmatched.”
