I buy (2) 3-lb bags on sub and save. I put a couple of heaping tablespoons in both our almond milk or kefir smoothies every day. We love it and the creamy consistency it makes our drinks. As soon as it arrives, I re-package them into 1-quart mason jars and seal with our FoodSaver and then place in freezer. Then I label each jar '1 of 6', '2 of 6', etc. When I reach the jar that says, '6 of 6', I reorder. We've been doing this for years and it works well for us.
Use this daily in my smoothies!! Reason for 4 stars is because of the price fluctuation. BE AWARE. Sometimes it is cheaper per pound to purchase the 3 pound bag and sometimes it's cheaper to go with the 5 pound bag. The prices will literally change $10-15. The 5 pound bag has been around $43 and now it's $56. I purchase elsewhere when the price is on the higher end.
I noticed some positive changes when I started taking this. I had more energy and felt stronger. The omega-3 fatty acids and low calorie protein really makes a big difference. Subscribed.
My YA child introduced me to hempseed, and so I tried this. They blend about 1-2 T of hempseed with water in the Vitamix (or blender on high) to make hemp milk, since they don't do dairy. It was surprisingly tasty and I used it in recipes while they were here visiting as a milk replacement. Hempseed is super nutritious and slightly nutty, and can be added to most anything. I'm definitely a fan now. They said this brand was fine, but that other brands have a little better flavor. It might be personal preference, so I'm going to try several different brands and decide for myself. In the meantime, I'm very happy with this product. It seems fresh and tasty for my first experiment with hempseed.
Delicious, nutty product of Canada. Who else just eats spoonfuls like me? The seeds have a nice amount of Omegas (fats essential for human health) and 10g Protein per 3 tbsp.
Make sure you refrigerate these after you open them!!

Fanastic! I love this product, and I add it to all my smoothies. In the morning, I drink 40oz of water then wait about 10 minutes, then I drink another 16oz of water 10 minutes later. Drinking 8 cups of water first thing in the morning helps me regulate my system. Then I follow up with a smoothie, with acai, frozen bananas, sometimes strawberries, maca and moringa powder, chia and hemp seed, and some almond milk. This makes a delicious morning treat and also helps set the pace for the rest of the day. Glad to support Nutiva, thanks for making hemp seeds available for civilians who make smoothies and who like to sprinkle it on salads.
Nutiva organic raw shelled hempseed is a reputable brand. The package I received on August 18, 2918 had a use by date, November 23, 2019, so it is nice and fresh. The hull content is average among other brands. I paid $10.52 for my first bag of 19 oz. I just checked the current pricing for this item. It is now listed at $14.44/19oz. The three-pound bag at $35.65 is not much better. Nutiva brand is now way over priced. I cancelled my subscription. Uneconomical and very expensive! I took off 1 star for this reason.
Great quality hemp seeds, nice and nutty and delicious. I like to sprinkle these on just about anything--salads, peanut butter toast, sandwiches, on top of stir frys, you name it. I like that seeds are a little easier to just throw on top of a meal than nuts, which may need chopped or roasted to taste good.
Hemp seeds have a great ratio of Omega 3/6 and it's a complete plant protein, so I'm a big fan. Plus they're delicious.
The time has come, hurray!! Nature's miracle. Once this starts getting out, I just
hope they can keep up with production. I have a chronic illness. Hemp was my
last hope to find a viable diet. Not only do I have more better days, but they are
better than ever. NOT A CURE, but sure has raised my energy level, focus and
concentration in a great way. Ran out and decided I was better enough to eat
regular food until my new shipment arrived...........WRONG! within that week I was
very sick again and unable to tolerate most all foods. Back on my Hemp Seed and
I can already start to feel the difference. Whatever your health problem, this is one
sure way to better health. Do your research, like I did. This may be for your too!
I add 2 tablespoons to my smoothie in the morning to get added protein and "good fats" after intense morning workouts. I love the nutty flavor and consistency it adds to my shakes. Hempseed is a very good food to add to your diet, and I highly recommend. I get a nice "high" from my shakes due to several supplements I add in, with this one being one of the most important to my recovery and health. I'm well into my second bag and will continue to order from Nutiva. The bag is large, resealable, and the product delicious!
